Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order comes into force on 7 September 2007 but the amendment in article 2 has effect from 1 April 2007. The Order applies to Wales.

Article 2 of the Non-Domestic Rating (Small Business Relief) (Wales) Order 2006 (“the 2006 Order”) defines hereditaments which are excepted from the small business rate relief scheme established by that Order.

This Order amends the definition of excepted hereditaments in the 2006 Order by deleting the reference to certain self-catering properties.
