Non-Domestic Rates Retail, Hospitality and Leisure Relief

From 1 April 2026 15% relief is available for eligible properties in the retail, hospitality and leisure sectors with a rateable value up to and including £100,000. Relief is capped at £110,000 per business per year across Scotland. An additional 25% relief is available for eligible licensed hospitality and music venues (total 40%). If you were in receipt of hospitality relief in 2025/26 and no longer qualify due an increase in rateable value as a result of the 2026 revaluation, we will consider if you are due hospitality transitional relief when you apply.
