1. Retail, Hospitality and Leisure Relief
The Retail, Hospitality and Leisure Relief scheme provides eligible, occupied, retail, hospitality and leisure properties with relief, up to a cash cap limit of £110,000 per business and as long as the business meets the qualifying criteria.
From 1 April 2024 to 31 March 2025, the 75% retail relief has been extended, up to a cash cap limit of £110,000 per business. The relief will only apply between 1 April 2024 and 31 March 2025 and as long as the business meets the qualifying criteria.
From 1 April 2025 to 31 March 2026, the retail relief is reducing to 40% and will apply as long as the business meets the qualifying criteria.
Cash Cap
The cash cap is set at £110,000 per ratepayer.
This means that a ratepayer (together with any other companies in the same Group) shall not receive more than £110,000 of the Retail, Hospitality and Leisure Relief for eligible properties within the relevant financial year and shall not receive more than £315,000 in total of Small Amounts of Financial Assistance over three years, including 2025/2026.
