Surrey Councils and Your Business
Who bills business rates in Surrey, and what changes in 2027.
1
Business rates come from your borough or district
In Surrey, business rates are billed by the borough or district council, not by Surrey County Council. Banstead, Kingswood and Reigate are in Reigate and Banstead borough. Caterham is in Tandridge district.
2
New councils from 1 April 2027
Surrey's 12 councils are due to be replaced by two unitary councils on 1 April 2027. East Surrey Council will cover Elmbridge, Epsom and Ewell, Mole Valley, Reigate and Banstead, and Tandridge. West Surrey Council will cover Guildford, Runnymede, Spelthorne, Surrey Heath, Waverley and Woking.
3
Small business rate relief
You apply through your council. Under the GOV.UK rules, your property's rateable value must be below £15,000, and your business will usually use only one property.
Our Surrey Town Pages
Each page covers the council, the train to our offices and local questions.
Reigate and Banstead borough
Business rates are billed by Reigate and Banstead Borough Council, at Reigate Town Hall.
Tandridge and the rest of Surrey
In Caterham, business rates are billed by Tandridge District Council. Elsewhere, check with your own borough or district council.

Frequently Asked Questions
About councils, meetings and working with us from Surrey.
Do you have an office in Surrey?
No. Our offices are in Croydon, at AMP House next to East Croydon station, and at The News Building in London Bridge. Our pages for Banstead, Kingswood, Reigate and Caterham explain the train journey from each town.
Which council do I contact about business rates in Surrey?
Your borough or district council. For Banstead, Kingswood and Reigate that's Reigate and Banstead Borough Council. For Caterham it's Tandridge District Council. Both are due to be replaced by East Surrey Council on 1 April 2027.
Will the new Surrey councils change my tax return?
No. Income Tax, VAT and Corporation Tax are run by HMRC, so your returns and deadlines stay the same. The change affects who sends council tax and business rates bills.
Can you work with me if I live in west Surrey?
Yes. If you're in Guildford, Woking or elsewhere in west Surrey, we can do the work by video call, phone and email, and you can still visit either office by appointment.
Can I speak to you in Russian or Romanian?
Yes. Our team works in Russian and Romanian as well as English, in meetings and in writing. Official forms and HMRC letters stay in English, and we explain them in your language.
