Tell us about a change

If you receive small business rate relief, you must notify us if there are any changes in circumstances that may affect your entitlement to the relief. You must notify us as soon as possible.

You must notify us if:

  • the rateable value of a property you occupy, outside Stockport, increases
  • you occupy a new property in England
  • you take on a second property

Taking on a second property

If you take on a second property, this would normally mean you lose your small business rate relief. However, you can keep the relief for a further period.

This period was previously one year, but extended to 3 years if you take a second property on from 27 November 2025.
