These Regulations provide local authorities with a power to supply relevant non personal council tax information to any person who requests it. Relevant information is defined at paragraph 17 of Schedule 2 to the Local Government Finance Act 1992 (“the 1992 Act”) as information which is obtained by the authority for the purpose of carrying out its functions under Part I or Part II of the 1992 Act and is not personal information. A definition of “personal information” is given at paragraph 17(3) of that Schedule.

In addition, Regulation 3 allows authorities to charge a prescribed fee of £500 for the supply of the information.
