Within the BID Boundary Businesses within the BID boundary but are below the £10,000 rateable value threshold are exempt from paying the BID levy. These businesses can become a voluntary levy-payers for £150 + VAT per year. Voluntary levy-payers have access to the BID’s schemes, services and can get involved with projects. However, voluntary levy-payers will not be able to join the BID’s Board of Directors and will not have a vote when it comes to the BID’s renewal ballot in 2024.
Outside the BID Boundary Many businesses outside of the BID’s boundary, but are within the Salisbury area, choose to pay into the BID as their corporate social responsibility. These businesses will be charged 1.5% of their rateable value. Businesses outside the BID’s boundary will only have access to a limited number of the BID’s appropriate services and projects - this will be decided on a case by case basis. These businesses will not be able to join the BID’s Board of Directors and will not have a vote when it comes to the BID’s renewal ballot in 2024.
