Publicans – did you know that if your pub has a rateable value of below £100,000 you may be entitled to a reduction in your business rates of £1000 under a scheme introduced by the Government last year?

The scheme applies for the rating years 2017/18 and 2018/19.

To find out if you’re entitled to the reduction, check the Council’s website for the eligibility criteria and an application form by following this link:

Even if you do not meet the criteria for pub rates reduction, you may be entitled to a small business rates reduction, details of which can be found on the same pages.
