Who is a BID Levy-Payer?

BID levy payer

The BID’s activities are principally funded via a BID levy charge set at 2% of rateable value (RV) as at 6th April 2022. This charge is payable by all non-domestic properties within the BID area (please see boundary map below) and is collected by Birmingham City Council. The funds are then passed to the Jewellery Quarter Business Improvement District Limited, a not-for-profit company that operates the BID.
