Non-domestic rates - money off your bill

Licensed sports club relief

The amount of relief we give is variable and is calculated using the club’s income from bar takings, food, gaming and tobacco sales and the rateable value of the property. Some licensed clubs may not qualify if their income is too high.

Unlicensed sports club relief

We give 100% relief to unlicensed sports clubs.

Community amateur sports clubs

Clubs registered with HMRC as a Community amateur sports club will get 80% relief. More information is available at www.gov.uk
