Rate relief for community amateur sports clubs

This relief is eligible to sports clubs that have registered with HM Revenue and Customs as community amateur sports clubs (CASCs). Billing authorities can also top up the relief at their discretion effectively granting these clubs the same rights to business rate relief as registered charities.

For more details download the community amateur sports clubs scheme leaflet from the right of the page. More information on how to register as a CASC can be found on this page of the HM Revenue and Customs website  or the Sport England website.

The relief operates alongside the current discretionary relief for community sports clubs. It is anticipated that billing authorities will continue to offer discretionary relief to sports clubs that currently obtain the relief that have not registered with HM Revenue and Customs as CASCs.

For more details on the eligibility criteria and on how to apply please see the guidance notes and application on the right of the page. Alternatively you can contact the Business Rates Section - see the contact details on the right.
