Request
I am making the following request under the Freedom of Information Act 2000. For the 2022/23 rate year, the Government has put in place a retail, hospitality and leisure relief scheme under which eligible business can receive 50% off their business rates bills for the period 1 April 2022 to 31 March 2023 - up to a total value of £110,000 per business. Please provide the following
1) The number of hereditaments to which this relief has been applied to date
2) The estimated value of this relief to be granted by your authority for the whole of the 2022/23 rate year.
Response
A1. 1200
A2. As to the estimated amount for 2022/23 - we cannot estimate the figure. The figure given 6,969,698.62 is as it is now and will no doubt fluctuate on a month by month basis.
