From April, on top of the support announced in the autumn 2025 budget, every pub and live music venue will get 15% off the 2026/2027 business rates bill. Bills will be frozen for a further two years. This new relief applies to pubs and to live music venues in England.
The bills for the new financial year were issued in March 2026. Check your bill carefully - if you believe your property is eligible for the new relief, but don’t see it on your bill, please get in touch by emailing businessrates@ribblevalley.gov.uk.
