Support for businesses

Published: 20/03/2020

Welsh Government has announced a £200m support package for businesses in Wales to help them with the Coronavirus outbreak.

Retail, leisure and hospitality businesses with a rateable value of £51,000 or less will receive 100% business rate relief and pubs with a rateable value of between £51,000 and £100,000 will receive a £5,000 reduction on their 2020/21 bill. In addition to the year-long rates holiday, an additional grant of £25,000 will also be offered for businesses in the same sector with a rateable value of between £12,001 and £51,000. It also provides a £10,000 grant to all businesses eligible for Small Business Rates Relief with a rateable value of £12,000 or less.  

Flintshire County Council acknowledges the challenges that Coronavirus is bringing to local businesses and where possible we will automatically apply the business rate holiday and additional grants to businesses.
