12. Supporting Small Business Rates Relief (SSBR)

SSBR (Supporting Small Business Rates Relief) helps those ratepayers who as a result of a change in rateable value at the 2026 Revaluation lost some or all of their Small Business Rate Relief or Rural Settlement Rate Relief and, as a result, faced a large increase in their business rates bill.

SSBR ensured that the increase in the bills of those ratepayers is limited to a cash value of £800 per year, for the financial years 2026/27 to 2028/29.

You do not need to apply for Supporting Small Business Rates Relief as it is shown on your bill if you qualify.
