EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Council Tax Reduction (Scotland) Amendment (No. 2) Regulations 2017 (“the Amending Regulations”) to correct an error in those Regulations. The amendment removes the amendment made by regulation 7(b) of the Amending Regulations. This means that the disregard of bereavement support payment for the purpose of calculation of income other than earnings is not subject to the limitation contained in paragraph 40 of schedule 4 of the Council Tax Reduction (Scotland) Regulations 2012.
1992 c.14; section 80 was amended by paragraph 176 of schedule 13 of the Local Government etc. (Scotland) Act 1994 (c.39). There are other amendments to section 80 and section 113(1) that are not relevant to these Regulations. The functions of the Secretary of State, in so far as within devolved competence, were transferred to the Scottish Ministers by virtue of section 53 of the Scotland Act 1998 (c.46).
