Retail Relief

You could qualify for retail relief if your business is mainly being used as a:

  • shop
  • restaurant, café, bar or pub
  • cinema or music venue
  • hospitality or leisure business - for example, a gym, a spa or a hotel

2024/25 retail rate relief - 75%

2025/26 retail rate relief - 40%  

Before making an application, please contact us to confirm your eligibility. 

From April 2026 Government has introduced new lower multipliers for Retail, Hospitality & Leisure (RHL) which replace the current RHL relief.  We are currently reviewing the information we hold to ensure that the correct multiplier is used.
