Support for Businesses
A number of shops, pubs, theatres, music venues, restaurants – and other business in the retail, hospitality or leisure sector – will pay no business rates for 12 months. In addition businesses in receipt of Small business Rates Relief and hospitality businesses will receive a grant from Government, which will be administrated by Herefordshire Council. We are currently waiting for further information and advice from central government regarding this additional support for Businesses.
We are ready to operate this scheme as soon as it has received the details from Government. Government has indicated that this will be released by the end of the week. We will publish the details on our website as soon as we receive them.
All reliefs announced due to coronavirus (COVID-19), will be automatically applied to the businesses that we believe meet qualifying criteria. Our aim is to do this within the next few weeks.
