Covid-19 Additional Relief Fund (CARF) PDF 309 KB
Minutes:
The Covid-19 Additional Relief Fund scheme sets out the proposed eligibility for a payment under the Covid -19 Additional Relief Fund (CARF).
The Council, as the Business Rates Billing Authority, is responsible for determining and processing the relief. The aim of this relief scheme is to support businesses which have been impacted by Covid-19 but are not eligible for existing support linked to business rates. This scheme is the system by which the Government have allowed for the effects that COVID would have had on the Rateable Value and therefore ultimately the charge to the ratepayer.
If applications are successful it will result in a reduction in the rates liability for the period 1 April 2021 to 31 March 2022. It is not paid as a grant.
Eligibility for the scheme is restricted due to the limited availability of funding.
Under the emergency powers set out in Rule 26.22 of the Council’s Constitution the Managing Director made the following decision in consultation with Councillors Forward, Barnett, Batsford, Chowney, Rogers, Webb and Hilton.
RESOLVED:
Cabinet agrees the Covid-19 Additional Relief Fund (CARF) scheme and the expenditure of up to up to £1,560,258 funding received from HMG.
Reasons:
The council needs a policy to determine eligibility criteria.
