Multiplier

National Non-Domestic Rating Multiplier

The national non-domestic rating multiplier is the rate in the pound by which the rateable value is multiplied to produce the annual rate bill for a property. It is set annually by the Government and except in a revaluation year, cannot, by law, rise by more than the amount of the increase in the retail prices index.

For the 2026/27 year there are five multipliers:
