Business rates in Doncaster

Doncaster has 10,366 rated business properties with a median rateable value of £8,100. Around 65% sit below the £12,000 Small Business Rate Relief threshold, so a large share could pay little or no business rates, if the relief is applied.

At £8,100, the typical Doncaster rateable value is below the England & Wales median of £9,600. The largest single group of properties falls in the under £12,000 band, and the average (£34,793) runs ahead of the median, the sign of a long tail of higher-value premises.
