Department for Communities and Local Government written question – answered at on 4 July 2017.
To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, what plans his Department has to encourage local authorities to offer business rate relief to non-maintained childcare and early-education providers.
At the Budget, the Government announced a £435 million package of support to help those businesses most in need of support following the revaluation. It included £110 million to support rate-payers losing small business rates relief and rural rate relief as a result of the 2017 revaluation, as well as a £300 million discretionary relief fund for local authorities to help local businesses. Additionally, if a non-maintained childcare and early-education provider is also a registered charity for business rates purposes it may also qualify for relief.
