Business rates for pubs and hotels in England and Wales are under intense scrutiny as a major review led by expert Jerry Schurder gets underway, aiming to overhaul the system for fairness. With a 20% rate cut set to hit pubs and venues this April, industry groups argue rising costs—including staff wages and National Insurance—are crushing small businesses, citing 161 pub closures and 2,400 job losses in just three months. While the Treasury seeks input from stakeholders ahead of the next revaluation in 2029, critics urge broader relief and higher thresholds for small operators—hoping this review can finally deliver clarity and support for vital local enterprises.
