Decision details

The Government has announced two new discretionary reliefs to support businesses with their business rates bills from 1 April 2023.

The first is the Retail, Hospitality and Leisure rate relief for the period 1 April 2023 to 31 March 2024, which is broadly similar to the Retail, Hospitality and Leisure rate relief scheme which ends on 31 March 2023.

The second is 2023 Supporting Small Business rate relief which supports businesses losing some or all of their Small Business Rate Relief following the 2023 revaluation.

On 10 February 2023, Cllr Jeremy Heron, the Portfolio Holder for Finance, Investment and Corporate Services made the following decision:

That the Retail, Hospitality and Leisure Relief scheme (Appendix 1) and the 2023 Supporting Small Business Relief scheme (Appendix 2) be approved.

Any member of the Council, who is not a Portfolio Holder, who considers that this decision should be reviewed should give notice using the call-in facility at the top of this page on the Council’s intranet / extranet site.

Alternatively, notice can be given to the Monitoring Officer (Grainne O’Rourke) (in writing or by e-mail) to be received ON OR BY 5.15 pm on 17 FEBRUARY 2023. Details of the document the Portfolio Holder considered are attached below.
