Increased Cost Of Business Grant

As you are aware, as part of the Budget 2024, the Government signed off on a package of €257m for the ICOB grant as a vital measure for small and medium businesses. The Local Authorities are currently administering the scheme on behalf of the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment.

Local Authorities are writing out to all rate payers with information on how to register for this scheme, this includes a customer ID and PIN to access the ICOB portal. Eligible businesses will receive a once-off grant payment. It is important to note, it is not a Commercial Rates waiver and businesses should continue to pay their Commercial Rates bill as normal.
