Non-domestic rateable value
With regard to applications for new/variation Premises Licences or Club Premises Certificates, these are based on the non-domestic rateable value of each premises, which are currently split into five individual bandings, A-E shown below.
| Band | Non-domestic rateable value |
|---|---|
A | (£0 - £4,300) |
B | (£4,301 - £33,000) |
C | (£33,001 - £87,000) |

If applicants do not know the 'banding' into which a premises falls, then they may contact the Valuation Office Agency (VOA) by telephone on 0845 602 1507. Alternatively a search can be undertaken using the VOA website. The current non-domestic rateable value will also be shown on the latest Non Domestic Rate Bill issued by Chichester District Council.
Where a premises does not have a non-domestic rateable value, it automatically falls into Band A, unless the premises are in the course of construction, in which case it falls into Band C.
