Report Fraud
Gloucester City Council is committed to preventing and detecting Business Rates fraud.
What is fraud?
Business Rates fraud is when someone deliberately gives false or misleading information so that they can pay lower or no business rates.
Examples of business rate fraud include:
- not declaring a new business premise
- not declaring that a property is being used for business purposes
- failure to inform the Council that a business has moved into a property
- falsely stating that a property is no longer in use when it is
- falsely claiming a reduction or relief
How to report fraud
Give as much information as you can about the business you’re reporting. This could include:
- the business name
- the property address
- the type of fraud you think the business is committing
You can make a report anonymously - you do not have to give your name or contact details unless you want to.
