Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

The Non-Domestic Rating (Demand Notices) (Wales) Regulations 1993 provide for the contents of rate demand notices which are issued by billing authorities in Wales and for such notices to be accompanied by explanatory information in the appropriate language.

These regulations, made by the National Assembly for Wales in accordance with the powers given to the Secretary of State by paragraphs 1 and 2(2) of Schedule 9 to the Local Government Finance Act 1988 and section 26(3) of the Welsh Language Act 1993 and now exercisable by it, make amendments to the explanatory information which must be supplied by billing authorities in Wales to reflect the removal of transitional arrangements and changes to the rural rate relief scheme.
