Whether self-catering accommodation businesses in island communities will have access to the same financial support as self-catering proper…

Islands businesses in Level 3 are also eligible for support to the equivalent of Level 4 Strategic Framework Business Fund. Eligible businesses, including self-catering accommodation businesses will be able to access closure funds as well as, where applicable, the Large Self-Catering Grant. This is for larger self-catering properties which have been uniquely impacted by the single household rule introduced on the 23 rd of September. Self-catering businesses are eligible to apply for this support comprising one off payments of £2,000 if they have a property which accommodates 7 or more people for which they pay Non Domestic Rates.
