Charities and registered Community Amateur Sports Club (CASC) are entitled to 80% (mandatory) rate relief on non-domestic properties that are wholly or mainly used for charitable purposes.
Charity shops must use the property wholly/mainly to sell donated goods and the net proceeds are to be used for the purposes of the charity.
Non-profit organisations which are neither a charity or registered CASC are not eligible to receive mandatory relief but may receive up to 100% discretionary rate relief. To qualify the property must be occupied and used for charitable purposes or used wholly/mainly for the purpose of recreation.
Any organisation that qualifies for 80% mandatory rate relief can also apply for discretionary rate relief for the remaining 20% of rates bill.
