EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Non-Domestic Rating Contributions (Wales) Regulations 1992 (“the 1992 Regulations”).
Under Part 2 of Schedule 8 to the Local Government Finance Act 1988, billing authorities (in Wales, county and county borough councils) are required to pay amounts (called non-domestic rating contributions) to the Welsh Ministers. The 1992 Regulations contain rules for the calculation of those contributions for Welsh billing authorities.
These Regulations amend the 1992 Regulations by substituting a new Schedule 4 (Adult Population Figures).
The Welsh Ministers’ Code of Practice on the carrying out of Regulatory Impact Assessments was considered in relation to these Regulations. As a result, it was not considered necessary to carry out a regulatory impact assessment as to the likely costs and benefits of complying with these Regulations.
1988 c. 41. Section 60 of, and paragraphs 4 and 6 of Schedule 8 to, the Local Government Finance Act 1988 were amended by section 5 of, and Part 1 of Schedule 3 to, the Local Government Finance Act 2012 (c. 17).
