<p>At Budget the Government announced the biggest ever cut in business rates worth
over £6 billion and benefitting half of all non-domestic properties from April 2017.</p><p>The
Government is permanently doubling the level of Small Business Rate Relief and increasing
the thresholds. Eligible properties with a rateable value of £12,000 and below will
receive 100% relief. This means that 600,000 small businesses will pay no business
rates at all. Eligible businesses with a property with a rateable value between £12,000
and £15,000 will receive tapered relief.</p>
