Statistics on non-domestic rates relief for both the mandatory and discretionary schemes operating in Wales are published on StatsWales.  

The non-domestic rates system operates on the basis of the values of non-domestic properties and defines small businesses only by reference to their property valuation.  The Small Business Rates Relief scheme provides 100% relief to businesses with a rateable value up to £6,000 and tapered relief for values up to £12,000.  All businesses defined as small businesses for rating purposes receive relief. 

The Welsh Government does not hold information on other definitions of small businesses which would be needed to calculate percentages of small businesses provided with a tax cut.
