Rates relief

Sports Unlicensed Relief

Properties occupied by recreational/sports clubs not licensed to sell alcohol may be eligible to apply for sports club relief – unlicensed.

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 for:

Up to 100% discretionary relief may be applied to recreational/sports clubs not licensed to sell alcohol (must be a recognised sporting activity).

What evidence do I need to submit?

  • copy of your constitution, and
  • latest audited accounts. (should be dated no earlier than April of the preceding year)

This evidence will be examined to establish that the applicant is a bonafide sports or recreational club, and that no income from the sale of, for example, alcohol and tobacco, appears in the accounts.

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.
