A letter to local authorities confirms amendments that the government has made to the eligibility criteria for Supporting Small Business Relief, a scheme available in England.<\/p>\n
Eligibility for the relief has been aligned with the treatment of vacancy and reoccupation under Transitional Relief.<\/p>\n
Under the updated rules, a change of ratepayer or a period of vacancy after 31 March 2026 will not affect eligibility for the Supporting Small Business Relief scheme. Eligibility will still be lost if the property becomes occupied by a charity or a Community Amateur Sports Club.<\/p>\n
The change has been made to reflect the fact that the relief is intended to mitigate business rate bill increases as a result of revaluation. The change has been backdated to 1 April 2026.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
