Details
The UK government sets a business impact target (BIT) for how much money it will save businesses. Regulators like the SIA must measure the economic impact on businesses of any changes to how they regulate, so that the government can see how much they contribute to meeting the BIT.
By law, we must:
- publish a list of new or amended regulatory activities
- measure the economic impact of those activities on business
We measure the impact by calculating a ‘BIT score’, using rules set by the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy. When we do, we separate our regulatory activities into 2 categories:
- ‘Qualifying regulatory provisions’, which are considered when we calculate our BIT score.
- ‘Non-qualifying regulatory provisions’, which are not considered.
The documents above set out our:
- qualifying regulatory provisions, May 2015 to May 2017
- BIT score for those qualifying regulatory provisions
- non-qualifying regulatory provisions, May 2015 to May 2017
