The question
To ask the Scottish Government how many businesses in Dundee have received 100% non-domestic rates relief in each year since 2006, also broken down by (a) area and (b) estimated total amount of rates relief.
The answer
The following tables show the number of properties receiving 100% non-domestic rates relief in the Dundee City Council area in each year for which data is available, broken down by ward and the value of reliefs awarded to non-domestic properties in these wards. The data include all awards of 100% relief (either a single relief or a combination of reliefs summing to 100%), e.g. through the Small Business Bonus Scheme; charitable rates relief; empty property relief; retail, hospitality, leisure and aviation relief, etc.
Note that the following figures relate to numbers of properties, rather than businesses, as one business can occupy multiple properties.
Data for years between 2006-07 and 2011-12, and for 2017-18, is not available.
Note also that ward level data is not available for all local authority areas; this is dependent on the data available on the valuation roll for each area.
