Business Rate Relief For Charities

We create savings in empty business rates by placing charities in temporary occupation. Charities get statutory 80% relief in business rates. This can be upgraded to 100% at the discretion of the local authority.

The occupation remains flexible so that when a new tenant or purchaser is found the charity vacates with only 20 or 40 working day’s notice. We manage the entire process on our client’s behalf; from writing the application to collecting any rebate that is due.

We have a partnership with Proposition Studios, an arts and ecology charity that seeks to provoke transformational dialogue around humanities relationship with the living world. This partnership enables Oaksure to provide a charitable occupation of a vast range of buildings over a wide territory.

All properties where we apply this solution are put to good charitable use, creating benefits for arts and ecology.
