Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, whether Government business rate (1) transitional relief and (2) Supporting Small Business Relief applies to the (a) Business Improvement District supplements and (b) Crossrail / GLA business rate supplement, in 2026-27 where the increased Rateable Value of a hereditament following the revaluation has (i) made the property liable for the supplement or (ii) increased the existing liability for the supplement.

The application and calculation of BID supplements and the Business Rates Supplement in London are matters for the BID body and the GLA respectively. The government does not determine these levies.
