RATE bills will start to arrive with homes and businesses as bills are issued on April 5.
The bill will set out the amount due for 2024/25, details of any rate relief which has been applied to your account and also any arrears from previous years that have not been paid.
A wide range of rate reliefs and entitlements are available, including support for those in receipt of Universal Credit through the Rate Rebate Scheme and a discount for pensioners who live on their own.
Land and Property Services (LPS) said they would encourage anyone having difficulty paying rates to contact them for advice on the range of support available.

Domestic ratepayers can receive four per-cent discount if they pay their 2024/25 rates in full on or before 10 May 2024.
Businesses may also be able to access a range of rate support schemes. More details can be found at www.nibusinessinfo.co.uk/content/help-available-business-rates
