EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations amend the Council Tax Reduction (Scotland) Amendment (No. 2) Regulations 2017 (“the Amending Regulations”) to correct an error in those Regulations. The amendment removes the amendment made by regulation 7(b) of the Amending Regulations. This means that the disregard of bereavement support payment for the purpose of calculation of income other than earnings is not subject to the limitation contained in paragraph 40 of schedule 4 of the Council Tax Reduction (Scotland) Regulations 2012.
