Business Rate Supplements Act 2009

Liability to business rate supplements

Section 16: Interaction with BID levy

46.This section enables levying authorities to offset the payment of BID levies under Part 4 of the Local Government Act 2003 against BRS liability. Where the levying authority decides to do this, the BRS chargeable amount is determined by deducting the amount of a ratepayer’s liability for the BID levy from their potential liability for the BRS. Subsection (4) prevents BID levies being offset against BRS liability unless the authority’s approach to offsetting has been set out in the final BRS prospectus or is in line with an agreed variation and requires that a consistent approach is taken to all BIDs in the levying authority’s area. Subsection (5) applies subsections (1) to (4) to BRS-BIDs established under Schedule 2 to the Act.

Impact Assessments

Impact Assessments generally accompany all UK Government interventions of a regulatory nature that affect the private sector, civil society organisations and public services. They apply regardless of whether the regulation originates from a domestic or international source and can accompany primary (Acts etc) and secondary legislation (SIs). An Impact Assessment allows those with an interest in the policy area to understand:

  • Why the government is proposing to intervene;
  • The main options the government is considering, and which one is preferred;
  • How and to what extent new policies may impact on them; and,
  • The estimated costs and benefits of proposed measures.
