In April 2026, the government will replace the Retail, Hospitality and Leisure (RHL) relief with two lower business rates multipliers for properties with rateable values below £500,000.
Kirklees Council will be responsible for determining which properties are eligible for these multipliers in line with government guidance.
| Category | Rateable Value (RV) | Multiplier |
|---|---|---|
| Small Business RHL | Below £51,000 | £38.2p |
| Standard RHL | £51,000 - £499,999 | £43.0p |
| Large (All Properties) | £500,000 and above | £50.8p |
| Small Business (Non-RHL) | Below £51,000 | £43.2p |
| Standard (Non-RHL) | £51,000 - £499,999 | £48.0p |
