This relief scheme is likely to count as a subsidy, so can only be claimed if the business has not already exceeded the permitted United Kingdom Subsidy Threshold as set out in the Small Amounts of Financial Assistance Allowance.
The responsibility lies with the business, on a self-assessment basis, that by accepting the relief, they will not breach either the cash cap or the Small Amounts of Financial Assistance Allowance threshold.
When you apply for or opt out of relief you will need to tell us:
- your non-domestic reference number
- the property which you are claiming for
- that receiving the relief your business will not exceed the cap of £110,000
