Assistance for business affected by Covid-19

Published: 04 April 2020

The councils are prioritising awarding the extensions to retail rate relief to existing accounts and working to identify eligible ratepayers. Work has also taken place to identify and collate the necessary information to allow the councils to pay Small Business and Retail Grants.

Letters have gone out to ratepayers who we believe qualify. To claim a grant, businesses should complete the required form which can be found at www.whitehorsedc.gov.uk/businessrates

Payments will begin to be processed from week commencing 6 April.

Those that can pay their bills should do so as normal, however those businesses who are genuinely having difficulty paying their business rates should contact our business rates team at vowh.businessrates@secure.capita.co.uk
