Transitional Relief

From 1 April 2010, Transitional Relief is no longer available. Ratepayers will be required to pay the full amount of rates.

In April 2007 changes took place to the domestic rating system in Northern Ireland. Transitional relief helped ratepayers whose rate bill had increased by more than 33% above the amount that would otherwise have been payable in rates for the property under the old Net Annual Value (NAV) system.

Transitional relief was provided automatically over a three-year period from 1 April 2007 to 31 March 2010.
