You heard wrong, it's high, but not that high.
They charge based on the rateable value of the property, which is a completely ridiculous way to do it as it has no correlation to the income of the business, with a few adjustments.
They cap the RV they take into account at £500,000, and then further adjust it at 100% of the first 15k, 23% of 15-200k, and 5% of 200-500k, so the maximum effective RV you can have is £72,550.
From that effective RV they work out the monthly subscription cost in a pence in the pound method, the highest package (with sky 3d, and all sports and movies) is 5.8 pence in the pound, which comes to £4,207.90, so around a grand a week.
But that's the absolute maximum, I doubt many pubs have a RV anywhere near that high, most will be under 50k and will be paying around 1k a month.
