Non-Domestic Rates Relief
Page updated on: 02/03/2026
Eligible ratepayers will receive 15% non-domestic rates relief in 2026-27. As with similar temporary support in previous years, the relief will be capped at £110,000 per business across Wales.
All businesses are required to make a declaration when applying to individual local authorities, confirming that the amount of relief they are seeking across Wales does not exceed this cap. The relief will be awarded using the discretionary powers of local authorities, following applications from eligible ratepayers after 1 April 2026.
The Non-Domestic Rates Retail, Leisure and Hospitality Rates Relief scheme is aimed at businesses and other ratepayers in Wales in the retail, leisure and hospitality sectors, for example shops, pubs and restaurants, gyms, performance venues and hotels.
The Welsh Government will provide grant funding in Wales to provide the Retail, Leisure and Hospitality Rates Relief scheme to eligible businesses for 2025-26. The scheme aims to provide support for eligible occupied properties by offering a discount of 40% on non-domestic rates bills for such properties. The scheme will apply to all eligible businesses, however the relief will be subject to a cap in the amount each business can claim across Wales. The total amount of relief available is £110,000 across all properties occupied by the same business. All businesses are required to make a declaration that the amount of relief they are seeking across Wales does not exceed this cap, when applying to individual local authorities.
