170.This section provides the Welsh Ministers with the power to make regulations to add to, repeal or revoke, or otherwise amend any provision made by an enactment relating to the register under Part 2 or the visitor levy (including this Act) about cases where a person that has carried on a relevant business dies, becomes incapacitated or becomes subject to an insolvency procedure, or otherwise ceases to exist. Regulations made under this power are subject to the affirmative procedure in the Senedd.

172.The regulations may make provision that applies whether or not anyone else carries on a person’s relevant business after the person dies, becomes incapacitated, or becomes subject to an insolvency procedure, or otherwise ceases to exist.
173.The regulations may make provision about the removal of a person from the register under Part 2 as well as in respect of penalties for failures to comply with the regulations or with requirements imposed on persons other than WRA. They may also provide for reviews and appeals.
