The rules governing the Sovereign Grant have been set by Parliament in the Sovereign Grant Act 2011.

The Grant will be reviewed again in 2026 and the government is committed to bring forward legislation to reset the Grant to a lower level from 2027-28 once Buckingham Palace reservicing works are completed.
