Treasury minister Dan Tomlinson said the property tax bills for pubs and music venues in England will be reduced by 15% in 2026/27 and then be “frozen in real terms” for the next two years.He added that the support will be worth £1,650 for the average pub next year.Mr Tomlinson said: “This decision will mean that the amount of business rates paid by the pub sector as a whole will be lower in 2028/29.“It will also apply to music venues too. Many are valued as pubs and it would not be right to draw the line.”The Treasury’s intervention comes after an intensifying backlash from industry bosses and MPs over impending tax increases.
