Premises which can submit applications for this relief include shops, pubs, restaurants, cafes and hair salons.
The Welsh Government has published the guidance on Retail, Leisure and Hospitality Rates Relief in Wales for 2025-26 and Conwy County Borough Council is reminding local businesses not to miss out.
From 1 April 2025 eligible businesses could qualify for 40% business rates relief under the scheme.
Premises which can submit applications for this relief include shops, pubs, restaurants, cafes and hair salons.
Eligible occupied businesses will qualify for 40% rates relief for the 2025-26 financial year, but the amount of relief under scheme will be capped at £110,000 per business across the whole of Wales.
Councillor Nigel Smith, Cabinet Member for Sustainable Economy, said, “It’s important that businesses don’t forget that they must apply to the Council for this relief so that they don’t risk losing out. The relief is a significant support for businesses.”
If you think you may be eligible or have received Retail Leisure and Hospitality Relief in the past, but have not yet made an application in respect of the current 2025-26 financial year, complete a form on the Council’s website www.conwy.gov.uk/ratesrelief
