Supporting Small Business Relief is a new scheme for the 2026 revaluation.
At the 2025 Autumn Statement, the Chancellor announced that the 2026 Supporting Small Business (SSB) scheme will cap bill increases at £800 per year for any business losing eligibility for some or all Small Business Rate Relief or Rural Rate Relief at the 2026 revaluation.
SSB was first introduced at the 2017 revaluation to support ratepayers facing bill increases greater than the Transitional Relief caps due to loss of Small Business Rate Relief or Rural Rate Relief.
We have already identified businesses which qualify and will be sending them a revised 2026 bill shortly.
