These Regulations apply to Wales.

Under Part II of Schedule 8 to the Local Government Finance Act 1988 billing authorities are required to pay amounts (called non-domestic rating contributions) to the Secretary of State. Provisional amounts are paid during the year, final calculations and payments being made after the year ends. They are calculated in accordance with the Non-Domestic Rating Contributions (Wales) Regulations 1992 (“the 1992 Regulations”).

These Regulations make various technical amendments to the 1992 Regulations for financial years beginning with 1997/98.
