Businesses in the retail, hospitality, and leisure sector will receive a tax cut worth almost £1.7 billion in 2022-23. This builds on over £16 billion of business rates support already provided to the retail, hospitality, and leisure sectors throughout the pandemic, including a £10 billion business rates holiday for 2020-21 and a scheme worth £6 billion in 2021-22.
