Retail, hospitality and leisure relief
The Government has extended the retail, hospitality and leisure relief scheme to 2025 to 2026.
Qualifying ratepayers will receive a discount of 40% of their business rates bill for 2025 to 2026, after any other relief has been applied.
Relief can be applied to more than one property, if each property qualifies for relief, up to a cash cap limit of £110,000 per business, across all of the business's properties.
You will qualify for retail, hospitality and leisure relief if:
- your property is occupied (ie trading or in use)
- your property is being used wholly or partly for retail purposes
- your property is reasonably accessible to members of the public
- an award of relief would not break rules of Subsidy Control (£315,000 in a 3 year period)
