Business rates discounts for Living Wage employers

Living wage employer discounts 

Small businesses can offset the cost of paying the living wage against discounts offered against business rates for companies who sign up to be accredited. The cost of accreditation varies according to the organisation’s size, starting at £66 per year for those with fewer than ten employees. 

Full details of the council scheme are here.
