Business Rates

Non-Domestic Rates Information

The non-domestic rates or business rates, collected by Cheshire East Council are the means by which businesses and others who occupy non-domestic property make a contribution towards the cost of local services. Money collected is paid into a national pool and redistributed by Central Government to local councils according to the number of people living in the area.

Please use the menus for more information or if you would like any further advice you can write to the Rates Office at the address on the back of your rates bill or at our Head Office address at Westfields or contact the Business Rates Section.
