On 21 December 2021, Government announced the introduction of grant support for hospitality and leisure businesses in England.
The scheme provides a one-off support payment to hospitality, leisure and accommodation businesses, in recognition that the rise of the Omicron variant means that some businesses are likely to struggle over the coming weeks.
The Omicron Hospitality and Leisure Grant will support hospitality, leisure and accommodation business premises with one-off grants of up to £6,000. The following thresholds apply for these businesses:
• Businesses occupying hereditaments appearing on the local rating list with a rateable value of exactly £15,000 or under on 30 December 2021 will receive a payment of £2,667
• Businesses occupying hereditaments appearing on the local rating list with a rateable value over £15,000 and less than £51,000 on 30 December 2021 will receive a payment of £4,000.
• Businesses occupying hereditaments appearing on the local rating list with a rateable value of exactly £51,000 or over on 30 December 2021 will receive a payment of £6,000.
You will need to have your rate account reference and the name of the business as it appears on your recent bill. Payments will be made by BACS to your business account. We will need to confirm that the bank details entered are the details used by the business. Therefore, we will need to see a copy of the most recent business bank statement to confirm these details.
