The government has set out a package of targeted, temporary measures to support public services, people and businesses through this period of disruption. From a business rates perspective, these measures include:
A 12 month business rates holiday for all retail, hospitality and leisure businesses in England
Small business grant funding of £10,000 for all businesses in receipt of small business rate relief or rural rate relief
There is also grant funding available of £25,000 for retail, hospitality and leisure businesses with property with a rateable value between £15,000 and £51,000. For a more detailed examination click here.
These grants are being administered by Local Authorities and they should have written to you by now where they expect your business to qualify.
