Relief scheme for pubs
You may be entitled to Business Rates Relief if you own a pub, inn or tavern.

- What relief is available for public houses.
This scheme provides a discount of £1,000 for pubs with a rateable value of less than £100,000 and was initially available for 2017/18 only.
In the Autumn Budget 2017 the Chancellor announced that the pubs relief scheme would be extended by a further year so the relief will have effect for 2018/19.
Eligible pubs will be those who:
- are open to the general public
- allow free entry (other than when occasional entertainment is provided)
- allow drinking without requiring food to be consumed
- permit drinks to be purchased at a bar
If you are eligible for this additional support we will send you a new Business Rates demand.
If you consider you are eligible for this relief and have not received a revised demand, please contact the team:

- 01206 282300 - option 2
