Overview

Summary of dataset and variables

These statistics detail the amounts of non-domestic rates that local authorities estimate will be collected in the financial year.

Non-domestic rates (NDR), often referred to as business rates, are a local tax through which owners or occupiers (‘ratepayers’) of non-domestic properties contribute financially towards the provision of local services.

The NDR bill for each property is calculated by taking its rateable value and multiplying it by the ‘NDR multiplier' for the year in question. There are also various reliefs available to support ratepayers. If a ratepayer is eligible for relief, this will reduce the rates bill for the property.

All NDR revenue collected by billing authorities is paid into the Welsh Government's ‘Non-Domestic Rates Pool’. Funds collected from the central list are also added to this pool. The total revenue is then distributed to billing authorities as part of the local government revenue settlement each year. The pool is split between the 22 county and county borough councils and the four police and crime commissioners, and is distributed between each authority according to shares of adult population.

Data collection or calculation

The information presented here is taken from the annual NDR1 financial returns submitted by the 22 billing authorities in Wales.
