State Aid and Subsidy Control

Business Rates reliefs may be subject to Subsidy Control regulations. The new UK subsidy control regime commenced from 4 January 2023.

The new regime enables public authorities, including devolved administrations and local authorities, to deliver subsidies that are tailored for local needs. Public authorities giving subsidies must comply with the UK's international subsidy control commitments. The subsidy control legislation provides the framework for a new, UK-wide subsidy control regime.
