The effective dates for determination of chargeable amounts in accordance with Regulations 8 and 10 of the principal Regulations are specified by reference to the Non-Domestic Rating (Alteration of Lists and Appeals)(Wales) Regulations 1993 where alterations are made pursuant to those Regulations to the rateable value shown in a list.
