Caerphilly County shop owners to be given business rate relief

Business | | Published: 09:43, Wednesday August 26th, 2015.

Shop owners are being urged to check if they are eligible for rate relief of up to £1,500.

Introduced by Welsh Government last year, the Wales Retail Relief Business Rate Scheme aims to give qualifying businesses help on paying their rates.

The grant applies to qualifying occupied retail premises with a rateable value of £50,000 or less, that are wholly or mainly providing a service to visiting members of the public.

Officers from Caerphilly County Borough Council are posting out application forms to qualifying shops, restaurants, cafés and drinking establishments encouraging them to take advantage of the financial support on offer.

A business can still apply for Wales Retail Relief where it is already receiving other forms of rate relief, such as small business rate relief. However, the amount of relief will be capped to the amount of rates actually payable.
