‘Five Council’ Proposal Public Consultation
Have your say on the future of councils in Essex. Councils across Greater Essex are seeking public input on plans to replace the current Local Authority structure with fewer, larger unitary councils.
Charities (and some other organisations) are entitled to relief from rates on any non-domestic property that is completely or mainly used for charitable purposes.
Registered CASCS are also entitled to 80% relief from rates on any non-domestic property that is completely or mainly used for the purposes of that club, or that club and of other such registered clubs.
Sports clubs generally do not have charitable status for non-domestic rates purposes but can apply for this status through the Inland Revenue. If certain criteria are met, they will then receive mandatory rate relief.
