CORONAVIRUS BUSINESS SUPPORT FUND
BUSINESS SUPPORT APPLICATION FORM
1. ABOUT THE SCOTTISH GOVERNMENT CORONAVIRUS BUSINESS SUPPORT FUND
The Scottish Government Coronavirus Business Support Fund is being administered by Local Authorities. It consists
of the Small Business Grant Fund and the Retail, Hospitality and Leisure Grant Fund.
Eligible business ratepayers can apply for these grant funds up until 31 March 2021. The grants are aimed at helping
to keep small and medium-sized companies in business and keep productive capacity so that they can recover. Their
intention is to:
• Protect jobs
• Prevent business closure
• Promote economic recovery
This Fund is part of a suite of measures designed to support businesses experiencing hardship as a result of COVID-
19. To support as many different types, sizes, and sectors of business as is possible, recipients of one Fund may not
be eligible to receive support from another. Businesses are encouraged to refrain from claiming additional grant
support unless absolutely necessary and, when making this determination, to consider on the Scheme’s objectives
above.
2. SMALL BUSINESS GRANT FUND – Who is eligible?
Ratepayers of businesses located in a non-domestic property on 17 March 2020 can apply to access a support fund
and receive a small business support grant of £10,000 if they are:
a) in receipt of the Small Business Bonus Scheme (SBBS);
b) in receipt of Rural Relief
or;
c) eligible for SBBS but in receipt of Nursery Relief, Disabled Relief, Fresh Start Relief, Business Growth
Accelerator Relief, Enterprise Areas Relief, Sports Relief, or Charitable Rates Relief.
Phase 2
From 5 May 2020, ratepayers with multiple business properties meeting these criteria are eligible to receive a one-
off grant of £10,000 for their first property, and £7,500 for each subsequent qualifying property. These are only
available to ratepayers whose premises were occupied on 17 March 2020 for the business uses specified.
From 5 May 2020, new arrangements enabled ratepayers of properties in the Retail, Hospitality, and Leisure sectors
& previously ineligible for support to access the Small Business Grant Fund. Ratepayers operating properties in
Retail, Hospitality, and Leisure where their individual rateable values do not exceed £18,000 and where the
cumulative rateable value of all properties held (RHL and non-RHL) is between £35,001 -£51,000, can apply for the
Small Business Grant Fund for each of their Retail, Hospitality or Leisure properties.
Phase 3
From 8 June 2020, the range and upper limit of such cumulative rateable value was increased from £35,001 -
£51,000 to £35,001 - £500,000.

From 8 June 2020, tenants or occupiers of premises such as shared office spaces, business incubators and shared
industrial units for which the landlord is the registered rate payer may be eligible for a single, one-off £10,000 small
business grant. Eligibility for such small businesses is subject to detailed verification criteria but irrespective of the
use or rateable value of the property. A tenant/occupier may only receive a single grant. ELIGIBLE PERSONS ARE
DIRECTED TO APPLY THROUGH THEIR LOCAL AUTHORITY USING THE RELEVANT FORM.
3. RETAIL, HOSPITALITY, AND LEISURE GRANT FUND – Who is eligible?

support granted to businesses no later than 31 December 2020.

SECTION 8: TAX HAVEN RESTRICTIONS TO COVID-19 RELATED GRANTS
TAX HAVENS
Under the Coronavirus (Scotland) (No. 2) Act, businesses with certain connections to tax havens may not
receive coronavirus-related grants from Scottish Ministers. Tax havens are defined as those listed in the
EU List of Non-Cooperative Jurisdictions for Tax Purposes as follows:
• American Samoa
• Cayman Islands
• Fiji
• Guam
• Oman
• Palau
• Panama
• Samoa
• Trinidad and Tobago
• US Virgin Islands
• Vanuatu
• Seychelles
Before a coronavirus grant can be made, a company must confirm that the following conditions apply at
the date of application;
• The company is not incorporated in a tax haven jurisdiction, or otherwise based for tax purposes,
(e.g. it does not have a place of central management and control in a tax haven in a way that
would create residence for tax purposes).
• The company is not a subsidiary of (i.e. is not owned by or controlled by) another company that is
based in a tax haven.
• The company is not a parent company of a company that is based in a tax haven.
• The company does not participate in a tax arrangement that results in some or all of its profits
being taxed in a tax haven. “Arrangement” refers to planning schemes put in place for tax
purposes, rather than a genuine commercial profit stream.
Note; the restrictions would not apply if the recipient company is a “sister company” of a company
based in a tax haven. For example, if the applicant company is based in Scotland and owned by a parent
company based in the UK, no restrictions will apply if the parent company also owns subsidiaries in tax
haven locations.
I have read and understood the foregoing restrictions
on COVID-19 Grants to businesses in tax havens.
Please indicate Yes/No
I hereby confirm that the conditions above DO apply to
my business (i.e. my business does not have
connections to tax haven jurisdictions for which these
restrictions apply.) I understand that the grant is
conditional on this confirmation.
Please indicate Yes/No

III. our use of your personal information is contrary to law or our other legal obligations.
Objecting to how we may use your information – You have the right at any time to tell us to stop using your
personal information for direct marketing purposes.
Restricting how we may use your information – in some cases, you may ask us to restrict how we use your personal
information. This right might apply, for example, where we are checking the accuracy of personal information that
we hold about you or we are assessing the objection you have made to our use of your information. This right might
also apply if we no longer have a basis for using your personal information but you don't want us to delete the data.
Where this right is realistically applied will mean that we may only use the relevant personal information with your
consent, for legal claims or where there are other public interest grounds to do so.
Please contact us as stated above if you wish to exercise any of these rights.
