<p>Spring Budget 2017 announced a £435m package to support businesses facing the steepest
increases in business rates bills following the revaluation, which included a £1,000
business rates discount for pubs with a rateable value of up to £100,000 for 1 year
from April 2017.</p><p> </p><p>In addition, pubs could benefit from the £110m support
for small businesses and £300m for local authorities to support individual hard cases
in their local area. This is on top of the £3.6bn transitional relief scheme and cuts
in business rates announced at Budget 2016 costing nearly £9bn over the next five
years.</p>
