      Business Rates

      Requested Tue 03 December 2019
      Responded Wed 11 December 2019

      I am making the following request under the Freedom of Information Act 2000.

      The Government announced in the Budget on 29 October 2018 that it will provide a business rates retail discount scheme for occupied retail properties with a rateable value of less than £51,000 in each of the years 2019-20 and 2020-21. Guidance on eligible hereditaments was issued by MHCLG in November 2018.

      Please confirm

      (1)    how many hereditaments in your authority which are not already receiving 100% small business rates relief have thus far been granted relief under this retail discount scheme in relation to the 2019/20 rate year.

      (2)    The aggregate amount of this relief which the authority expects to grant to ratepayers not in receipt of 100% small business rates relief for the entire 2019/20 rate year.


      Response

      Q1 - Hastings Borough Council have granted relief at 230 hereditaments to date.

      Q2 - We expect to award £475,000 in 2019/20
