Chapter 1: Council Tax
Section 80 – Council tax revaluations in Wales

218.Section 80 amends the Local Government Finance Act 1992 to provide the Welsh Ministers with the power, by order, to determine the timing of council tax revaluations in Wales, rather than being bound to the timetable for Wales currently set out by the Local Government Finance Act 1992. This provides the Welsh Ministers with the option to cancel the planned 2015 council tax revaluation in Wales. The orders are subject to the affirmative resolution procedure in the Assembly.
