Struggling to get the Business Tax Relief you think you should be getting as an "Event Hire Co"

The Chancellor of the Exchequer has announced business rates relief that applies to those in the leisure and hospitality sector. 

If you are struggling to persuade your Local Authority that this applies to you if you are an "Event Hire Company" check out this YouTube clip of the Chancellor of the Exchequer Rishi Sunak responding to a question from Greg Smith MP for Buckingham about whether the Business rates discount applies to event hire companies. He is asked whether event hire companies are included in the envelope of leisure and hospitality. Rishi Sunak responds that if the event company has a premises they will be eligible for the relief. 

Greg calls for clarity on Treasury support for businesses in the leisure and hospitatlity industries

I hope this helps you persuading your local authority that your business qualifies for the Business rates discount 2020/2021
