The Welsh Government is providing transitional relief to all ratepayers whose non-domestic rates liabilities will increase by more than £300, as a consequence of the 2026 revaluation. Eligibility is not limited to any sector, size, or type of property. £116m has been allocated over the next two years to fully fund this relief, supporting all areas of the tax-base, including hospitality businesses, in a consistent and straightforward manner.
