Business rates exemption for unoccupied properties

When a property becomes empty, there is no charge for the first three months, or six months in the case of industrial property.

After the initial rate-free period has expired, the empty property will be charged 100% Business Rates unless it meets certain criteria.

GOV.UK provides details of properties eligible for exempted buildings and empty buildings relief.
