Written Answers

Hospitality Industry and Retail Trade: Business Rates Asked by: Mel Stride (Conservative - Central Devon) Monday 17th November 2025 Question to the HM Treasury: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, how many and what proportion of businesses currently eligible for retail, hospitality and leisure relief have a normal business rates liability of £110,000 or less. Answered by Dan Tomlinson - Exchequer Secretary (HM Treasury) Eligible retail, hospitality and leisure (RHL) properties benefit from 40 per cent business rates relief up to a cash cap of £110,000 per business in 2025/26. MHCLG publish data on the number of properties benefitting from RHL relief. As business rates are administered by individual Local Authorities on a per-property basis, the Government does not hold data on how many and what proportion of businesses currently eligible for RHL relief have a total business rates liability of £110,000 or less. In April 2026, the Government is introducing permanently lower business rates multipliers for RHL properties with rateable values below £500,000. Unlike the current RHL business rates relief, there will be no cash cap, meaning that all eligible RHL properties in a chain will qualify for the lower multipliers.
