End Business Improvement Districts: Stop this unfair Stealth Tax

Petition Details

Stop unfair Stealth Tax
A Business Improvement District (BID) is a defined area within which Businesses are forced to pay an additional TAX /LEVY. Traders have little or no control how this money collected by Councils on top of Business Tax is spent. This unfair legislation needs to be abolished.

Additional Information

BIDs are being allowed to creep in via undemocratic ballots. Central Government gives financial backing only to those wanting to establish a BID. This ignores and/or undermines any attempt at a NO campaign.

The Ministry of Communities, House and Local Government BID regulations are woefully inadequate and have allowed a culture of lack of BID accountability and transparency to run rife throughout the UK with no independent regulator.
