First Minister Rhun ap Iorwerth said hospitality, accommodation and leisure venues would receive a 30% cut in some business rates from April 2027

Taxes paid by pubs, hotels and cinemas in Wales will fall after the Welsh government announced a 30% cut in some business rates.

First Minister Rhun ap Iorwerth said hospitality, accommodation and leisure venues would receive the permanent cut in rates from April 2027.

The minister's pint-pulling "could do with some work", according to Radyr Tap landlord Phil Newbould, though he said the rates cut would be "helpful" for the industry.
