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.
