PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
(4 March 2026)

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what estimate she has made of the cost of extending business rates relief beyond 31 March 2026 for premises used for community sport; and whether she has considered a sector-specific relief for grassroots sports clubs.

Asked by:
Alison Griffiths (Conservative)

Currently, properties which are wholly or mainly used for charitable purposes, including community amateur sports clubs, are eligible for charitable relief, which provides businesses with up to 80% off their business rates bills. Provision of further relief to charitable properties is at the discretion of local authorities.
