(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Education (Assisted Places) Regulations 1989 in respect of a school year beginning on or after 27th August 1993.
The reductions to be made in relevant income in respect of dependent relatives pursuant to regulation 11(3) and (4) of the 1989 Regulations are increased from £1,105 to £1,125 (regulation 2).
References to the relevant income tax legislation in Schedule 1 to the 1989 Regulations are updated so as to discount relief for letting furnished accommodation in owner occupied homes (regulation 3(1)).
References to the legislation relating to the adoption and fostering of children have been updated (regulation 3(2)).
Payments made under arrangements made by the Child Support Agency are to be deducted from the income of the person making the payments for the purposes of these Regulations and included in the income of the person receiving them (regulation 3(3)).
The means test for the remission of fees is relaxed; the level of income at or below which fees are to be wholly remitted is set at £9,225 instead of £9,056 with corresponding increases in the extent of remission where relevant income exceeds that sum (regulation 4).
1976 c. 36; the Regulations currently in force are the Adoption Allowance Regulations 1991, S.I. 1991/2030.
