Supporting small business relief

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

What you’ll get

If you’re eligible, your bills will go up by no more than £800 or the percentage caps listed in the table (whichever is greater) for the 2026 to 2027 tax year.

Rateable value                       2026 to 2027
Up to £20,000 (£28,000 in London)    5%            
£20,001 (£28,001 in London) to £100,000 15%           
Over £100,000                        30%           

This is compared to your bill in 2025 to 2026 and includes the following:

  • any small business rate relief
  • rural rate relief
  • retail hospital and leisure relief
  • 2023 supporting small business relief

Your council will adjust your bill if you’re eligible.
