Non-domestic rates - money off your bill

Relief for licensed sports clubs

You may get relief if your club is licensed. The amount you receive depends on:

  • income from bar sales
  • income from food sales
  • income from gaming
  • income from tobacco sales
  • the property’s rateable value

Some clubs may not qualify if their income is too high.

Unlicensed sports club relief

  • unlicensed sports clubs receive 100% relief

Community amateur sports clubs

If your club is registered with HMRC as a Community Amateur Sports Club (CASC), you will receive 80% relief.

For more information, visit www.gov.uk.
