With the Uniform Business Rates (UBRs) set for changes in England, Scotland and Wales for the fiscal year 2024/25, it’s crucial to reassess your rates for accuracy. In England, there is a freeze on the small multiplier at 49.9p for properties with a Rateable Value (RV) below £51,000, contrasted with a 6.7% increase in the large multiplier. In Scotland, the freeze on rates for small properties offers some stability, but those with higher rateable values face increases of 6.7%. Wales sees a uniform 5% increase, positioning it as the UK’s highest multiplier. Adjustments in relief schemes further underscore the need to account for these updates.
