Paragraph 6 Payments under demand notices

If a demand notice is issued before or during the relevant period and it appears to the relevant billing authority that the person falls within the description of person to be liable to the BID levy specified in the BID arrangements in respect of the day on which the notice is issued as regards the hereditament to which it relates, the notice shall require payment of an amount equal to the relevant billing authority’s estimate of the amount payable for the period.

In making an estimate under sub-paragraph (1) the relevant billing authority shall assume, as respects a period which falls after the issue of the notice, that the person will continue to fall within the description referred to in sub-paragraph (1).

If a demand notice is issued during the relevant period but sub-paragraph (1) does not apply, the notice shall require payment of an amount equal to the amount payable for the period in the period up to the day on which the person last fell within the description of person to be liable to the BID levy specified in the BID arrangements as regards the hereditament concerned.

If, after a notice is served to which sub-paragraph (3) applies, the person again falls within the description of person to be liable to the BID levy specified in the BID arrangements in the relevant period as regards the hereditament concerned, a further notice shall be served on him requiring payments with respect to the amount payable in relation to the hereditament for the period in the relevant period beginning with the day in respect of which the person so falls within the said description again.

Where a further notice is issued under sub-paragraph (4), paragraphs 5 to 8 shall apply to the further notice with respect to the period referred to in sub-paragraph (4) as if it were a demand notice and the person had not previously fallen within the description of person to be liable to the BID levy specified in the BID arrangements.

If a demand notice is issued after the end of the relevant period, it shall require payment of the amount payable for the period.
