England Local Restrictions Support Grant

As the announcements keep coming and our plans keep having to change, I thought it best to provide you with new information now, rather than waiting until after the Christmas break. 

England Local Restrictions Support Grant


With parts of England going into Tier 4, the Government have revised the Local Restrictions Support Grant. 

What is the Objective?

  • To support businesses, based in Tier 2, Tier 3 and Tier 4 areas, forced to close as a result of a Government decision.

What is the level of support?

  • Premises with a rateable value of £15,000 or less may be eligible for a cash grant of £667 for every 14 day period of lockdown.
  • Premises with a rateable value of over £15,000 and less than £51,000 may be eligible for a cash grant of £1,000 for every 14 day period of lockdown.
  • Premises with a rateable value of over £51,000 or above, may be eligible for a cash grant of £1,500 for every 14 day period of lockdown.
  • Each business can obtain a grant for each non-domestic property in the restriction area.
  • The grant will be taxable.

  • It has been required to close for at least 14 days.
  • It has been unable to provide its usual in-person customer service from its premises. E.g. pubs and restaurants who primarily operate as an in-person venue who now offer a takeaway service.


Any businesses not eligible?

HMRC Recovery Powers HMRC have put together the draft legislative package to reclaim payments under CJRS and the Self-Employed Income Support Scheme. This is subject to a HMRC consultation which comes to an end on 12th June. Under the draft legislation, HMRC will have the power, by way of a 100% tax charge, to recover payments which were either: Not due Not used to pay wages and PAYE Not used to make pension contributions Penalties will be imposed where there has been deliberate non-compliance. This comes at the same time as HMRC have notified that, to date, they have picked up on nearly 2,000 fraudulent CJRS claims to date. This is, in part, due to ongoing calls to their Fraud hotline number 0800 788887 and also through their online whistle-blower report webpage. Big reminder – 10th June last date to
