Dear Sir/Madam
Non-Domestic Rates - Discretionary Relief for Sports Clubs
Subject Address:
Rates Reference:
I refer to your recent enquiry regarding discretionary relief of rates for licensed organisations in terms of Section 4 (5) of the Local Government (Financial Provisions, Etc) (Scotland) Act 1962.
Relief for licensed organisations is available but the calculation of this must take into account the turnover the organisation generated in its trading activities relating to Bar, Food, Tobacco and Gaming Machines for the year 2007/08, or the first year thereafter.
If you wish to apply for relief, please complete the attached declaration of turnover, and return with a copy of accounts and a copy of the organisation’s constitution and rules, to the address shown above.
Yours sincerely
EILEEN HOWAT
Executive Director Corporate Services
