The government is launching a major review of business rates for pubs and hotels, sparked by mounting pressure from struggling owners who say the system is unfair—tying costs to turnover rather than physical space. Led by expert Jerry Schurder, the review aims to overhaul how these businesses are valued, with findings due by March 2027. Business owners are urged to share their stories to shape the future of the system, as hundreds of pubs have shuttered amid soaring rates and other rising costs. While a 20% cut for pubs and venues starts in April 2027, advocates are pushing for broader reform—including online businesses—to ensure a fairer, modern tax system that supports all sectors.
