UK Government to Cut Business Rates by 20% for Pubs, Clubs and Music Venues
The UK government has announced a 20% cut in business rates for pubs, clubs and live music venues in England from April, saving firms around £1,100 next year. The £100m cost will be funded by reviewing tax relief on vape shops and clamping down on online marketplace tax compliance. Industry figures welcome the move but caution it may not offset rising costs.
