Retail Hospitality and Leisure Relief 2025

Due to the cash cap and subsidy allowance criteria we have not applied Retail Hospitality and Leisure Relief to all bills.

If you believe you qualify email Brates@guildford.gov.uk. Add 'Retail 2025' to the email the heading.

Provide the following in the email:

• your account reference (beginning with X found on the top right of your bill)

• confirm the use of each property
• confirmation of the capacity in which you are applying for the relief. (For example, sole trader, managing director, chief accountant, partner)
