\"Tourism<\/a>Details of support for larger self-catering properties and B&Bs paying council tax have been confirmed by Tourism Secretary Fergus Ewing.<\/p>\n

The \u00a37 million Large Self-Catering Grant and the Exclusive Use Grant was announced as part of the \u00a3104 million tourism and hospitality package in December. Eligible self\u2013catering businesses will be able to apply for one off grant support of \u00a32,000. Eligible exclusive use premises will be able to apply for \u00a310,000 in grant support.<\/p>\n

All self-catering properties, B&Bs and guest houses that are eligible at Level 4 for Non Domestic Rates can now apply to the Strategic Framework Business Fund, which provides grants for businesses required to close by law as a result of COVID-19 restrictions. In most cases this will be payments of \u00a32,000 every four weeks.<\/p>\n

Mr Ewing confirmed that support equivalent to the Strategic Framework Business Fund will also now be available to B&Bs which do not pay Non Domestic Rates but pay council tax. This support will be paid by local authorities.<\/p>\n

Following the announcement that islands businesses will receive support equivalent to Level 4 and top-up payments for Hospitality, Retail and Leisure, local authorities will be paying the equivalent of up to \u00a33,000 every four weeks to self-catering and other accommodation providers on the islands, details of which will be published shortly.\u00a0If they meet the criteria, they will also be eligible for the Large Self-Catering Grant (seven or more guests) and the Exclusive Use Grants.<\/p>\n

Tourism Secretary Fergus Ewing said:<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is clear that some larger self-catering properties have been uniquely impacted, initially by the rule restricting the number of guests to six from two households, and then by the single household rule.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am pleased to confirm the details of this extra support for self-catering businesses. This will be targeted directly where it is needed most, to those self-catering businesses that have been severely impacted by the restriction on household numbers. All self-catering and other accommodation providers are already in scope for regular payments from the SFBF and I would encourage business owners to make sure they have registered with their local authority for this support.\u201d<\/p>\n

Background<\/strong><\/p>\n

To be eligible for the support self-catering businesses must by on the NDR roll, and must be recorded by the rates assessor as sleeping seven or more guests.<\/p>\n

To be eligible for exclusive use self-catering support, self-catering businesses must be listed on the NDR roll, as \u2018exclusive use accommodation\u2019.<\/p>\n

If you believe your business to be eligible for these funds, but have not been contacted by the end of February, please contact your local authority.<\/p>\n
