Food and Drink Hospitality Rates Relief

The Welsh Government has announced a new Food and Drink Hospitality Rates Relief Scheme for 2026-27 to support eligible occupied properties by offering a discount of 15% on non-domestic rates bills for such properties within the food and drink hospitality sector.

The scheme will apply to all eligible businesses; however, the relief will be subject to a cap on the amount each business can claim across Wales.

The total amount of relief available is £110,000 across all properties occupied by the same business. Businesses will also need to declare that they shall not receive more than £315,000 in total of Minimal Financial Assistance (MFA) over three years (financial years 2024-25 to 2026-27 inclusive).
