Potential New Universal UK Park

There were also some other nice surprises for them in the budget, though, such as the permanent lowering of business rates for hospitality and leisure from 2026/27.

Universal may also have negotiated some unique-to-them tax breaks, for all we know. We don’t know the details.
Would they fall under that? I can’t remember if there was some rule about venue size or something like that?
 
They can afford it.

If they really want to build here they will.
I’m not disputing they can afford it, but whilst at the negotiating table it’d make perfect sense to try and minimise any additional costs before the green light is given.

No business is going to be happy about millions of additional pounds being spent on tax every year no matter how much money they have.
