28th June 1993

These Regulations amend the Education (Assisted Places) (Scotland) Regulations 1989 (the principal Regulations) to uprate the qualifying income levels for the remission of fees and charges and the making of grants under the assisted places scheme, and in certain other minor respects.

The level of income at or below which fees are to be wholly remitted is increased from £9,384 to £9,522 with corresponding increases in the extent of remission where the relevant income exceeds that sum (regulations 4 and 10). The qualifying income levels for school travel grants and clothing grants are uprated (regulations 5 to 7).

The deduction for dependent children and relatives which is to be made from "relevant income" has been increased from £1,100 to £1,150 (regulation 3).

Redundant wording relating to the grant of asylum in circumstances where this is no longer done has been removed (regulation 2).

The list of tax reliefs in Schedule 1 to the principal Regulations is updated so as to include a further relief introduced by the Finance (No.2) Act 1992 (regulation 8). This list specifies reliefs which are not to be deducted in determining a person's income for the purpose of the Regulations. Provision is also made for the maintenance payments taken into account in determining a person's income to include those made in accordance with a maintenance assessment under the Child Support Act 1991 (regulation 9).
