Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what the estimated cash increase in business rate revenue in England is in 2025-26 as a consequence of the reduction in retail, hospitality and leisure rate relief.

Local authority forecasts of the cost of Retail, Hospitality and Leisure relief are published on gov.uk here.

The change in the value of relief is an indicator of the increased revenue from the reduction of the relief rate.
