Rates relief

Sports Relief Licensed

Properties occupied by organisations constituted as private members clubs and licensed to sell alcohol may be eligible for licensed sports club relief.

Relief is not awarded automatically and an application for relief must be made by the ratepayer, or a person authorised to act on behalf of the ratepayer.

You may be eligible if you meet the criteria:

  • A reduction on the rates charge which will be assessed upon submission of your application. The percentage of relief will be a calculation which will take into account the turnover the organisation generated in its trading activities relating to bar, food, tobacco, gaming machines and subscriptions.

What evidence do I need to submit?

  • copy of the club/organisation’s constitution
  • a copy of your most recent audited accounts which should include a breakdown of: 
  1. Turnover from bar sales.
  2. Subscription fees.
  3. Turnover from catering (including any turnover from franchise holders).
  4. Turnover from tobacco turnover (including vending machines).
  5. Turnover from all gaming machines.

(Accounts should be dated no earlier than April of the preceding year).

We kindly request you to submit the necessary supporting evidence for your application. Please be informed that failure to provide the requested documentation may result in the assessment of your application being delayed or rejected. We appreciate your prompt attention to this matter. 

How do I apply?
