Southend Beach Hut Owners Association
RATE RELIEF ON BEACH HUT (NATIONAL) NON-DOMESTIC RATES (NDR)
once referred to as Business Rates
NON-DOMESTIC RATES
There are some hut owners who are not aware that they can claim a discount (known as a relief) on the NDR rates which apply to their hut each financial year (April to March).
The only qualification is that you are 'NOT' claiming this on another property.
It's very easy to claim:-
Have your NDR invoice handy so you have the account & customer numbers.
------
Go to the Council website www.southend.gov.uk
------
Scroll down and choose
'Do it Online'
------
Scroll down and choose
'Apply for Small Business Rates Relief'
------
This takes you straight to the
Application form
------
Follow the on-screen prompts to fill-in & submit.
------
Once you've submitted the form they will issue an amended (nil) invoice with the appropriate discount applied (currently 100%)​
If you run into any problems you can speak to the Council Rates department
on 01702 -215001 which is displayed on the top of your NDR Demand.
