Enter the Rateable Value as shown in the 2005 List (and as applicable on 1st April 2005)	£	property size =
Enter the annual NDR bill for 2004/5 ( excluding any charity or unoccupied property reliefs )	£	(probably the 2004-5 charge)

Will this property qualify for Small Business Rate Relief ? Yes No (see the Small Business Rate Relief Scheme warning message below)

We already know the inflation figure for 2005/06. Input your choice of inflation figure for future years - or accept our default values. 2009-10 not required.
inflation rate 2005-06 %	inflation rate 2006-07 %	inflation rate 2007-08 %	inflation rate 2008-09 %

The "normal" bill (notional charge) is found by multiplying the new 2005 Rateable Value by the Large Business or Small Business multiplier. The Large / Small thresholds depend on the regional location and the multipliers are fixed fractions.

Other relief is available for charities, unoccupied property, certain rural enterprises and general hardship - check with your Local (billing) Authority.

Small Business Rate Relief Scheme warning - you must apply to the billing authority for registration as a small business. A ratepayer is only eligible for SBRR with either a single small property, or, one main property and other minor properties providing they each have rv's of less than £2,200 and the rv's of all the properties is under the "large threshold" (£15,000 in England and £21,500 in London).

Explanation - Transitional phasing works by comparing the new "normal" bill (notional charge) with the previous year's bill. Above and below the previous year's bill there is a "normal" band, the boundaries of which are set percentages (adjusted for inflation). If the new bill falls within the "normal" band then that will be the interim (transitional) bill. If the new bill falls outside the "normal" band then the appropriate "normal" band boundary will be the interim (transitional) bill - protecting business from sudden swings. Final adjustment (supplement or relief) may apply to convert the interim (transitional) bill to an actual bill.

Caveat: At this stage we cannot know the business multiplier values for future years so this phasing projection assumes that they stay the same in the subsequent years - past experience suggests that they will creep up slightly so that by 2009-10 the "normal" bill (notional charge) could be about 10% optimistic. NB You can modify the inflation rates as much as you like !
