Transitional Supplement
A 1p transitional supplement will be payable by all business ratepayers not in receipt of transitional relief. This has been introduced for the 2026/27 financial year only. Its intention is to help fund the transitional relief scheme (businesses facing a large increase following the 2026 Revaluation).
The supplement will still be shown on the bill for any ratepayers in receipt of transition relief, but this will be offset by the overall relief scheme.
In addition, businesses with a rateable value over £92,000 are required to pay the Crossrail business rates Supplement.
