Retail, Hospitality and Leisure relief 2024/25
The 2024 to 2025 Retail, Hospitality and Leisure Business Rates Relief Scheme will provide eligible occupied retail, hospitality, and leisure properties with 75% relief, up to a cash cap limit of £110,000 per business. A business is only entitled to £315k over 3 years, so if your business received the full award in 2022/23 and 2023/24, you would only be entitled to £95k this year.
Under the cash cap, no business can receive more than £110,000 in relief across all of its properties in England.
These property types won’t qualify:
- properties not reasonably accessible to the public
- properties used to provide financial or professional services
More details on the cash cap for this scheme (from paragraph 19 onwards)
We have granted relief to qualifying businesses. If you believe you qualify but haven't received relief, you can apply.
The discount will be subject to subsidy controls.
Opt out of the scheme
You can opt out of the scheme if you no longer want to receive the relief or believe you exceed the cash cap.
