The Retail, Leisure and Hospitality Rates Relief Scheme is available to qualifying businesses who operate in the retail, leisure, and hospitality sectors.
Eligible business will receive a 40% reduction to their non-domestic rates net liability in 2024 to 2025.
The maximum cash value of the rates relief allowed, across all properties in Wales occupied by the same business, should not exceed £110,000.
Eligibility
Businesses are required to declare that they meet the eligibility criteria set out the guidance and state which properties they seek to claim relief on.
Where 40% of liability across a business’s properties exceeds £110,000, businesses are required to specify which properties they would like the relief to apply to. Businesses may choose which properties they seek relief for.
Where the total relief allowed for other properties is close to the maximum amount of £110,000, an amount of relief of less than 40% may be allowed for a further eligible property.

Application form
An application form must be submitted to each council from which a business is seeking to claim relief for a property in that council’s area. Each form must include details of all properties for which relief is being sought throughout Wales. If an application is not made, then relief cannot be awarded.
Any attempt by a business to deliberately claim in excess of £110,000 relief will risk the withdrawal of relief granted under the scheme to that business by any council in Wales. Information on relief claimed under the scheme will be shared with other local authorities and the Welsh Government, enabling any aggregate claims in excess of £110,000 to be identified and if necessary, acted upon.

False claims
Welsh Government and Isle of Anglesey County Council will not tolerate any business falsifying their records or providing false evidence to gain this discount, including claiming support above the £110,000 cap or the exemption threshold.
A business who falsely applies for any relief, or provides false information or makes false representation in order to gain relief may be guilty of fraud under the Fraud Act 2006 and subject to legal action, in addition to having all retail, leisure and hospitality rates relief removed from all of their properties for the 2024 to 2025 scheme.
