Retail, leisure and hospitality relief is automatically applied to your account if you qualify for the reduction.
If you’re eligible, you could get 75% off your business rates bills for the 2024 to 2025 billing year.
The most you can get in relief each billing year is £110,000 per business.
If you have more than one business property (anywhere in England) you can receive this relief for each of them so long as the total saving does not exceed £110,000. We will remove the discount for any properties that exceed the cap.
Also no business can receive more than £315,000 over a three year period.

Certain businesses and broadly similar businesses are not eligible for retail, hospitality and leisure relief.
