Retail, Hospitality and Leisure Grant

This grant was available for small and medium sized trading businesses occupying properties on 11 March that qualified for Extended Retail Relief (RR).

RR is a discount from Business Rates for properties open to the public being used for the following types of businesses:

• Shops
• Food and/or drink establishments
• Cinemas
• Live music venues
• Sport facilities
• Leisure facilities
• Halls
• Hotels
• Holiday homes

There were several exclusions from the Retail, Hospitality and Leisure grants which included:

• Those in receipt of the Small Business Grant
• Properties for personal use
• Businesses that were in liquidation or dissolved
• Businesses with a Rateable Value (RV) of £51,000 or greater. (The RV is a value that the Valuation Office assesses for all non-domestic properties)

There were two different payment amounts depending on the RV of the business property.
