A local supermarket is closing this month. Do the owners still have to pay business tax on the property after it closes, and if so for how long

Retail properties which become empty are exempt from business rates. However that exemption expires after three months (and full business rates must then be paid again) unless:
(a) the property is a listed building ; or
(b) the property is owned by a charity and the next use of the building is likely to be for wholly or mainly charitable purposes ; or
(c) the rateable value of the property is under £2,600.
(In each of those cases, business rates don't need be paid throughout the whole of the period during which the property is unoccupied).
