7.—(1) Subject to sub-paragraphs (2) to (4), a person’s maximum council tax reduction amount in respect of a day is 100 per cent of the amount A/B where—
(a)A is the amount set by the authority as the council tax for the relevant financial year in respect of the dwelling in which he is a resident and for which he is liable, subject to any discount which may be appropriate to that dwelling under the 1992 Act; and
(b)B is the number of days in that financial year,
less any deductions in respect of non-dependants which fall to be made under paragraph 8 (non-dependant deductions).
(2) In calculating a person’s maximum council tax reduction under the authority’s scheme any reduction in the amount that person is liable to pay in respect of council tax, which is made in consequence of any enactment in, or made under, the 1992 Act (other than a reduction under that authority’s scheme), is to be taken into account.
(3) Subject to sub-paragraph (4), where an applicant is jointly and severally liable for council tax in respect of a dwelling in which he is resident with one or more other persons in determining the maximum council tax reduction in his case in accordance with sub-paragraph (1), the amount A is to be divided by the number of persons who are jointly and severally liable for that tax.
(4) Where an applicant is jointly and severally liable for council tax in respect of a dwelling with only his partner, sub-paragraph (3) does not apply in his case.
(5) The reference in sub-paragraph (3) to a person with whom an applicant is jointly and severally liable for council tax does not include a student to whom paragraph 75(1) of the Schedule to the Default Scheme Regulations(1) applies.
(6) In this paragraph “relevant financial year” means, in relation to any particular day, the financial year within which the day in question falls.
