This dataset is published as Open Data and is also available from the Stirling Council website.

Non-domestic rates, also called business rates, are a property tax which help pay for local council services. 
  • The Scottish Government sets non-domestic rates.
  • Councils administer and collect rates. 
The rates are based on: 
  • The value of your property (rateable value) - set by independent assessors - multiplied by 
  • A national poundage, a rate that is the ‘pence per £1 of rateable value’ to be paid - set annually by the Scottish Government, minus 
  • Any rates relief (discounts) your property is in receipt of – for example because it is used for charitable purposes or is in a rural area 
You can find out the rateable value for any rated non-domestic property at the Scottish Assessors website. 

Use the non-domestic rates calculator on the mygov.scot website to estimate your rates bill. 
You can also find out about any relief (discounts) your property may be eligible for.
