Happy to be corrected if any of the information below is wrong.

All businesses that are in receipt of Small Business Rates Relief will receive the 10k grant.  This applies to all businesses with a rateable value up to 15k, including those between 12-15k who have tapered relief.

All retail, hospitality and leisure businesses with a rateable value of between 15-51k will receive a 25k grant and pay no business rates in 20/21  (A list of which types of business this applies to is in second link Joanne posted.

All retail, hospitality and leisure businesses with a rateable value of over 51k will not receive a grant but won't have to pay any rates on 20/21

Your local council will issue the grant to the person/business name that was on the Council's rates database as at 11th March 2020

(Not in the links but gleaned from elsewhere)  It is expected that the local councils will begin issuing these grants from early April.   As far as I'm aware the 10k grants will be issued automatically and it is possible that the ratepayer may have to apply for the 25k grant (conflicting info on that second point

Thanks John for doing that. 

Im pondering a few scenarious. eg of one - garage client (MOT station, workshop and offices) spread across 2 sites, overall RV over £20k so no SBBR even on the smaller site of the 2 which has a RV of below the £12k.   Not classed as RHL, except the have undertaken car sales for the last 3 years, so proportionally they fall under the RHL section for this.     Not sure if council aware, doesnt show on Rates bill, or even if they need it to show.  

Yes, Ive agreed grants are supposed to be automatic - its considered the councils have the info (which also would need to tie in with the March date!), but think a call might be an idea, after Ive read the info again with a clearer head (1st job tomorrow I suspect...phone is going off the hook for a few hours!)

Not sure on the income bit, that would semi defeat part of the object but then why would we be surprised by that/have the government thought it through to that extent?   Sorry not got that far in any reading on that score yet.
