Discretionary Relief

Tendring District Council has the discretion to give relief on all or part of any rate bill for property occupied by certain non-profit making bodies.

Hardship Relief

Tendring District Council can award up to 100% relief from Business Rates. We normally only do this in extreme cases of hardship and for businesses which are particularly important to the local community. This takes account of the fact that local Council Taxpayers will cover part of the cost of the relief.

In order for the Council to consider granting hardship relief, an application must be made in writing, including copies of fully audited accounts. Each case will be considered on its own merits.
