Public Houses: Business Rates
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what assessment he has made of the potential impact of (a) the GLA levy and (b) higher Rateable Values from the 2026 revaluation on the business rate bills of pubs in London.
Answered by Alison McGovern
I refer the Rt. Hon Member to the answer given to Question UIN 111143 on 12 February 2026.
Pubs in the Greater London Authority area seeing significant changes in their business rates bill as a result of the revaluation will receive support through the £4.3 billion business rates package announced at the Budget. They will also be eligible to receive the 15% Pubs and Live Music Venues Relief in 2026/27 if they meet the eligibility criteria. Further information on this relief can be found here.
