Retail, Hospitality and Leisure Relief
At the budget on 27 October 2021, The Chancellor has announced a new 2022/23 business rates relief scheme for:
- retail properties
- hospitality properties
- leisure properties
This will provide eligible and occupied properties with a 50% relief. It has a cash cap limit of £110,000 per business
The cash cap
The cash cap limit of £110,000 per business is over every property the business is liable for.
There is a further limit that has replaced State Aid, called Subsidy Control. This limits a business to receiving up to 325,000 Special Drawing Rights (£343,000 as at 9 December 2021) in a three-year period.
Previous awards of Expanded Retail Discount do not count towards this allowance.
Business grants do count toward this allowance.
