Part of 1. Questions to the Minister for Finance and Trefnydd – in the Senedd at 1:40 pm on 8 January 2020.
Certainly. Only yesterday I was able to announce, as part of the budget 2020-21, that we would be continuing to extend our high street and retail rate relief scheme into 2020-21. So, that's more than £24 million of funding, which supports over 15,000 businesses with their rates. I think that's really important, but, actually, that goes alongside £230 million of other relief for businesses in Wales, meaning that around half of businesses in Wales pay absolutely no rates at all.
