45 Additional calculations where special items relate to part only of area.E+W
(1)This section applies where for any financial year an item mentioned in section 46(1) below relates to a part only of a major precepting authority’s area; and in this section “special item” means any such item which so relates and “the relevant part”, in relation to such an item, means the part concerned.
(2)The authority shall calculate the basic amount of its council tax for dwellings in a part of its area to which no special item relates by applying the formula—
where—
B is the amount calculated (or last calculated) by the authority under [F1section 42B(1) above or] section 44(1) above as the basic amount of its council tax;
A is the aggregate amount of all special items;
T is the amount determined for item T [F2in section 42B(1) above or] in section 44(1) above.
(3)The authority shall calculate the basic amount of its council tax for dwellings in a part of its area to which one or more special items relate by adding to the amount given by the formula in subsection (2) above the aggregate of the amounts which, in relation to each of those special items, are given by the formula—
where—
S is (in each case) the amount of the special item;
TP is (in each case) the aggregate of the amounts which are calculated by the billing authorities to which the authority has power to issue precepts as respects the special item (“the billing authorities concerned") as their council tax bases for the year for their areas, or (as the case may require) for the parts of their areas falling within the relevant part, and are notified by them to the authority within the prescribed period.
(4)The Secretary of State shall make regulations containing rules for making for any year the calculations required by item TP in subsection (3) above; and the billing authorities concerned shall make the calculations for any year in accordance with the rules for the time being effective (as regards the year) under the regulations.
(5)Regulations prescribing a period for the purposes of item TP in subsection (3) above may provide that, in any case where a billing authority fails to notify its calculation to the precepting authority within that period, that item shall be determined in the prescribed manner by such authority or authorities as may be prescribed.
[F3(5A)Regulations under subsection (4) that apply to authorities in England may contain different rules for the purposes of calculating item TP in relation to different kinds of special item.
(5B)Regulations under subsection (4) that make provision by virtue of subsection (5A) may make consequential amendments to this Act.]
(6)Any negative amount given by a calculation under subsection (2) or (3) above shall be assumed to be nil for the purposes of this Chapter.
