Non-domestic rates are a property based tax which is collected by the council on behalf of Scottish Government.
The Customer & Online Services, Non-Domestic Rates Team is responsible for the assessment, billing, collection and recovery of all of Fife’s Non-Domestic Rate Income. You pay rates based on a proportion of your rateable value, this percentage is set annually by Scottish Ministers and is called the poundage. Scottish Ministers set the uniform poundage rate to be levied throughout Scotland for each financial year i.e. 1 April to 31 March (see table below)
Rateable value | 2024/25 | 2023/24 |
Up to 51,000 | 49.8 | 49.8 |
51,001-100,000 | 54.5 | 51.1 |
From 100,001 | 55.9 | 52.4 |
