    Commercial rates are an annual charge on commercial property to pay for the general provision of services of local authorities. Commercial rates do not represent payment for any particular service provided to any speific ratepayer.They are payable on commercial, industrial and some other non-domestic properties. The local authorities charge commercial rates on the basis of the valuations provided to them by the Valuation Office.

    How does it sound?

    If you are using the space as part of your business/commercial venture then yes you would have to pay rates on the space, the only areas that arent subject to rates as far as I am aware are outdoor areas
