Business rate reliefs

Retail, Hospitality and Leisure Relief will cease from 31 March 2026 and be replaced by a multiplier.

We will be using The Non-Domestic Rating (Definition of Qualifying Retail, Hospitality or Leisure Hereditament) Regulations 2025 to define which multiplier your business qualifies for.

To do this we may send you a letter or visit your business. You can help us providing the information we ask for promptly.

This is not an exhaustive list. You can read the full list within the legislation.

1. Financial services such as loans, credit provision, or insurance.
2. Medical or health services such as dentistry, audiology, cosmetic surgery or herbal medicine and acupuncture.
3. Professional Services such as accountancy, vets, estate and letting agents or legal services
4. Betting shops, breweries, marinas, job centres, car parks or hire of services with drivers.

These changes make it very important that you keep us up to date with any changes to your business.

If you change premises, you must inform us; if you don’t your business could pay the wrong business rates bill.
