Business rates after the Budget webinar

Labour pledged to “level the playing field between the high street and online giants” but the Budget told a very different story.

Our new analysis shows the average pub faces a 15% rise in business rates next year, increasing to £7,000 more by 2028/29 and £12,900 extra over three years. Hotels are hit even harder, with bills rising £28,900 next year and £111,300 by 2028/29, totalling £205,200 extra over three years. Meanwhile, online giants, office blocks and out-of-town supermarkets benefit from far smaller increases.

This webinar unpacks what the Budget changes mean for your business, including how to challenge your valuation, and what UKHospitality is doing to fight for a fairer system – including our call for the Chancellor to increase the hospitality rates discount from 5p to 20p.

This is an essential session for pubs, restaurants and hotels navigating the new rates landscape.
