Tell us about any changes
If there is a change to the occupation of your premises, you need to tell us.
You can tell us about any changes online if you have a MyGuildford account. If you do not have a MyGuildford account you can set one up.
You can then link your online business rates account to your MyGuildford account.
To complete this step you will need the following information:
- the business rate reference number - found on the latest bill. Do not include the "X" when you enter the reference
- the name of the business
- the premises postcode
Once you have linked your business rates account, you can go to the 'account summary' screen. You will see a list of 'quick links' on the right-hand side.
Use the 'upload information or tell us about something else' form to tell us about the change.
The partial exemption ends when there is a further change in occupation. Or at the end of the financial year, whichever is sooner.
