Supporting Small Business

From April 2026, you can get supporting small business relief if both of the following apply:

  • your business property's bill will increase when the next revaluation happens on 1 April 2026
  • you've lost some or all of your small business rate relief, rural rate relief, retail hospitality and leisure relief or 2023 supporting small business relief

If eligible, your bills will go up by no more than £800 or the relevant Transitional Relief percentage cap from 1 April 2026 (whichever is greater).

 

Type of property 2026/27
Small property with a rateable value of £20,000 or less 5%
Medium property with a rateable value between £20,000 and £100,000 (or equal to £100,000) 15%
Large property with a rateable value of over £100,000 30%

 

Businesses who are still receiving Supporting Small Business Relief because of the 2023 revaluation will have their relief extended for 12 months.
