Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether he plans to extend the 20% reduction in business rates from 2027-28 to hairdressing and beauty salons.

The Government recognises the important contribution that hairdressing and beauty salons make to local communities and local economies.

Businesses continue to benefit from the Government's wider business rates reforms, including permanently lower multipliers for qualifying retail, hospitality and leisure properties and the £4.3 billion support package introduced to support those ratepayers facing large increases in bills following the 2026 revaluation.
