Delay to NDR grant

“In addition to the Economic Resilience Fund, Local Authorities will be delivering a Non Domestic Rates (NDR) linked grant fund to non-essential retail, hospitality, leisure and tourism businesses (NERHLT). There will not be an application process for this element however in order to receive payment businesses will be required to register with their local authority to confirm their details, NDR linked grants will then be paid directly to rate payers as follows:

• NERHLT businesses in receipt of Small Business Rate Relief (SBRR) and with a rateable value of £12,000 or less will be eligible for a £2,000 payment.
• NERHLT businesses with a rateable value of between £12,001 and £51,000 will be eligible for a £4,000 payment if impacted by the restrictions.
• NERHLT businesses with a rateable value of between £51,001 and £500,000 will be eligible for a £6,000 payment if impacted by the restrictions.

Local Authorities will also be delivering a discretionary fund via a short application process with sole traders, freelancers and taxi drivers able to apply for £500 and businesses that employee people but do not pay business rates will be able to apply for £2,000.

CCBC Finance staff have got the website up and running so businesses can 

start their claims for the NDR grants. It will be made available from 9 

am Thursday 13th January.

Members can find the application form on the Conwy site at 

www.conwy.gov.uk/cbg22 for the English and /gbc22 at the end for the 

Welsh.

The staff ask that everyone uses the website rather than sending emails.
