What Is Business Rates Mitigation?
Business rates are a form of tax charged on non-residential properties such as shops, offices, and warehouses. If your property is empty or only partially occupied, these charges can become a major burden. That’s where business rates mitigation comes in.
This involves using lawful and council-approved methods to reduce, defer, or eliminate the rates liability on your property. It requires a detailed understanding of local legislation, as well as proactive planning to stay compliant while saving money.

Why Business Rates Mitigation Matters in Manchester
Manchester has become one of the most sought-after commercial locations in the UK, with thriving business hubs in areas like Deansgate, Spinningfields, Salford Quays, and the Northern Quarter. However, like many major cities, the commercial landscape is shifting.
From high street retail to post-pandemic office vacancies, the number of unoccupied units is rising – and with that, so are rates liabilities.
