You are applying for relief under The Non-Domestic Rates (Transitional Relief) (Scotland) Regulations 2026 as amended by The Non-Domestic Rates (Miscellaneous Amendment) (Scotland) Regulations 2026.
This relief caps increases in gross bills for self-catering premises seeing the biggest increases in rateable values at the 2026 revaluation at 15% year-on-year until 2028/29.
You must answer all questions accurately and honestly. We will reclaim any relief incorrectly awarded because of incomplete, incorrect or fraudulent information.
What you will need
Before you start, have the following ready
- your business rates account reference number
- the rateable value and address of every property you are applying for
- your short-term let licence number (if your property requires one to operate)
You can find your account reference number in the top right corner of your rates bill. If you do not know your Rateable Value, it is also shown on your bill or on the Scottish Assessors' website.
