How many properties are eligible for the Retail, Hospitality and Leisure Business Grant Scheme, broken down by industry sector.

To be eligible for the Retail, Hospitality, and Leisure business support grants, properties need to have a rateable value greater than £18,000, and up to and including £51,000, and belong to one of the qualifying property types on the Scottish Assessors’ Valuation Roll. We estimate that up to 11,000 properties may be eligible, based on the Scottish Assessors Valuation Roll snapshot as at 1 January 2020.
Based on the property class on the Valuation Roll, it is estimated that 7,200 of these potentially eligible properties are shops (65%), 1,400 are public houses, restaurants, or cafes (13%), 1,100 are leisure and entertainment properties (10%), 800 are hotels, hostels, or other accommodation properties (7%), with the remaining 500 (5%) properties falling under other property types. Breakdowns by Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) industry sectors are not available, as the Valuation Roll does not hold this information.
These estimates are based on the Scottish Assessors Valuation Roll snapshot as at 1 January 2020 rather than actual applications or grants awarded. They do not account for, for example, any differences in properties on the roll and rateable values at 1 January compared to 17 March or the impact of the additional income restrictions for self-catering properties nor do they reflect the impact of properties otherwise ineligible according to the grant guidance. The grant schemes are application based and the modelling these numbers are based on assumes 100% take-up.
