(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 (“ the 1988 Act”) (non-domestic rating: pooling), 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.
Regulation 2 amends the 1992 Regulations by substituting a new Schedule 4 (adult population figures).
The Local Government (Democracy) (Wales) Act 2013 (“ the 2013 Act”) repealed section 58(2) of the Local Government Act 1972 (“ the 1972 Act”), which contained provision relating to orders implementing recommendations following local government reviews. By virtue of section 143(2) of the 1988 Act, regulation 3 makes a consequential amendment to paragraph 2 of Part 1 of Schedule 2 to the 1992 Regulations, by substituting references to section 58(2) of the 1972 Act with references to section 37(1) of the 2013 Act, which contains provisions relating to such orders.
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 143(2) was amended by section 154(3)(a) of the Local Government and Elections (Wales) Act 2021 (asc 1).
