Non-Domestic Rates (NNDR) discretionary and hardship relief
Westminster Council's Rating Advisory Panel is currently discussing applications for Non-Domestic Rates Discretionary and Hardship Relief, often in private.
Westminster Council's Rating Advisory Panel decided in December 2025 to discuss applications for Non-Domestic Rates (NNDR) Discretionary and Hardship Relief in private. This decision was made to protect exempt information, as defined under paragraph 3 of Part 1 of Schedule 12A of the Local Government Act 1972, which would likely be disclosed during discussions of these applications.
The Rating Advisory Panel, which allows local authorities to reduce the amount of tax a business has to pay, has been regularly reviewing NNDR Discretionary and Hardship Relief applications. Meetings in November 2025 and September 2025 saw the panel, including Councillor Concia Albert and Councillor Robert Eagleton, discuss various applications for relief from business rates.
