Working from home

If you work from home, you may have to pay non-domestic rates on the part of your property that you use for business purposes. This depends on:

• the degree of business use
• whether your local assessor has given a rateable value to a part of your home

You may still have to pay Council Tax on the rest of your home.

You're more likely to have to pay non-domestic rates if:

• you use a room exclusively for business
• it has been modified, for example turned into a workshop

Contact your local assessor if you're not sure if you should be paying non-domestic rates.
