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.
