Business Rates relief for pubs and live music venues

Help for pubs and live music venues

Every pub and live music venue* in England will get 15% off its new Business Rates bill.

This is on top of the other support recently announced.

Bills will also be frozen for a further two years.

You do not need to contact us about this, we will automatically apply the reductions.

You can access your bill in the Business Rates self-service portal.

What you need to do

You do not need to contact us about this, we will automatically apply the reductions to your 2026-27 bill which will be sent out to in March 2026.

If, once you receive your bill, you think your bill it is incorrect please contact us at welhat.nndr@liberata.com.

If you have questions about your rateable value contact the VOA or use the Check and Challenge service.
