Business Rates: North East
(asked on 3rd March 2026) - View Source
Question to the HM Treasury:
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, how much revenue was raised through business rates from charities operating commercial premises in the North East Combined Authority in 2024/25.
This question was answered on 9th March 2026
As Local Authorities are not required to report the business rates revenue they raise from different types of properties, the Government does not hold this data.
More broadly, properties that are wholly or mainly used for a charitable purpose benefit from 80% business rates relief. Local Authorities can, at their discretion, top this up to 100% relief from business rates.
