Business rates (NNDR)
Business Rates Holiday for Retail, Leisure and Hospitality Businesses
The business rates holiday for retail, hospitality and leisure businesses has been extended until the end of June 2021. Businesses who are affected by this will not receive their bill for 2021/22 yet. The bills for these businesses will be issued once the business rates holiday has been applied. We will share any information on further relief on our website and through our Business newsletter.
