Licence hire charges
As a beach hut tenant, you will receive 2 separate bills for letting an annual beach hut from us:
- BCP Council for the licence hire charge
- HM Revenue & Customs for non-domestic rates
You can choose to pay in full or monthly by direct debit over 6 months (January to June).
If you already pay by direct debit, the fees will be automatically paid from your account. However, your direct debit instruction will not cover payment of any non-domestic rates due on your beach hut. When you receive your rates bill, you will be advised how you can pay this (if applicable).
Licence instalment payments must be made on the due date or you will have to pay the full outstanding amount immediately or risk losing your beach hut licence.
Non-domestic rates
HM Revenue & Customs individually rate beach huts (throughout the UK) for non-domestic rates. Beach hut tenants pay non-domestic rates separately, where these apply.
You may be able to reduce your bill, you can claim small business rate relief (SBRR), providing you do not pay business rates elsewhere. This will reduce the rates element of the beach hut hire by 100%. Instructions on how to apply for this reduction will be sent with your bill.
For all enquiries about your bills, please speak to Stour Valley and Poole Partnership:
Telephone: 01202 634215
Email: svpp@bcpcouncil.gov.uk
Cancel your licence agreement
You have the right to cancel your licence agreement, giving at least one month's notice. Should you wish to do this, please notify the Beach Hut Team by completing the cancellation notice form.
If you cancel your agreement after 30 September, you will not be entitled to a refund on the remaining licence period.
