Information about the Supporting Small Business Relief which will run 2023/24 - 2025/26.
Supporting Small Business Relief 2023
In the 2022 Autumn Statement, the Government introduced a relief to support small businesses. This aims to help businesses that face an increase in their bill due to lost small business rates relief. This lost relief is a result of an increase in their rateable value due to the 2023 Revaluation
This is subject to Subsidy Control limits. Here you can find further information on Subsidy Control.
The relief will be granted automatically to those eligible, and will limit increases to £600 more than the previous year, every year while the scheme runs.
