District Heating Relief

50% relief available for a property which is used wholly or mainly for the purposes of a District Heating Network.

The Non Domestic Rates (District Heating Relief) (Scotland) Regulations 2017 reduces the amount of rates payable by 50% on a property which is used wholly or mainly for the purposes of a District Heating Network.  This relief is subject to State Aid rules.

District Heating Network means:

• the distribution of thermal energy in the form of steam, hot water or chilled liquids from a central source of production through a network to multiple buildings or sites for the use of space or process heating, cooling or hot water and includes any attached communal heating

Communal Heating is defined as:

• the distribution of thermal energy in the form of steam, hot water or chilled liquids from a central source in a building which is occupied by more than one final customer, for the use of space or process heating, cooling or hot water.

If you think your property may qualify for this relief please email us with an explanation of the usage of your property.

This relief will be available until 2032.
