Status:

Dyma’r fersiwn wreiddiol (fel y’i gwnaed yn wreiddiol).

EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations amend the Council Tax Reduction (Scotland) Regulations 2012 (“the Working Age Regulations”) and the Council Tax Reduction (State Pension Credit) (Scotland) Regulations 2012 (“the Pension Age Regulations”). Regulations 3 to 8 amend the Working Age Regulations and regulations 10 to 14 amend the Pension Age Regulations.

Regulation 3 provides that where there is an official error in the administration of council tax reduction and an over-entitlement is awarded, any resulting council tax arrears are not recoverable where the claimant, their representative or any other person awarded a council tax reduction, could not reasonably be expected to have realised that it was an over-entitlement at the time it arose or upon any subsequent notification of entitlement.

Regulations 4 to 6 uprate figures used to calculate the amount of council tax reduction that an applicant is entitled to receive under the Working Age Regulations.

Regulation 7 and regulation 8(a) make amendments to schedules 4 and 5 of the Working Age Regulations to reflect changes in the legislation that governs payment of Discretionary Housing Payments.

Regulation 8(b) makes a corrective amendment to paragraph 11 of schedule 5 of the Working Age Regulations. Regulation 8(c) adds early years assistance and funeral expense assistance to the sums to be disregarded in the calculation of capital for the purposes of council tax reduction under the Working Age Regulations.

Regulation 10 makes an amendment to the Pension Age Regulations equivalent to that provided by regulation 3.

Regulations 11 to 13 uprate figures used to calculate the amount of council tax reduction that an applicant is entitled to receive under the Pension Age Regulations.

Regulation 14(a) makes an amendment to schedule 4 of the Pension Age Regulations to reflect changes in the legislation that governs payment of Discretionary Housing Payments. Regulation 14(b) adds early years assistance and funeral expense assistance to the sums to be disregarded in the calculation of capital for the purposes of council tax reduction under the Pension Age Regulations.
