Chancellor John Healey announced a freeze on business rates and an increase of the 100% Small Business Rate Relief in today's Autumn Budget. The budget did not include the hoped-for tax reforms to cover the additional costs of theatre touring, but the freeze on business rates is expected to provide some relief to venues.
The announcement was made to the House of Commons, and the budget aims to support small businesses and theatre venues amidst financial challenges.
