Regulation 2(2) of these Regulations updates a statutory reference in the 2007 Regulations.
Regulation 2(3) of these Regulations adds an exception to the 2007 Regulations to provide that rates will not be payable on an unoccupied property where the person entitled to possession of the property is a company in administration.
