These Regulations amend the Council Tax Reduction (Scotland) Regulations 2012 (“the Working Age Regulations”).
The Redress for Survivors (Historical Child Abuse in Care) (Scotland) Act 2021 created a scheme whereby survivors of historical child abuse in care may apply for and receive redress payments. Regulation 2 amends schedule 5 of the Working Age Regulations so that such payments are disregarded in the calculation of capital for the purposes of council tax reduction under those Regulations.
1992 c. 14. Section 80 and paragraph 1 of schedule 2 were amended by paragraph 176 of schedule 13 of the Local Government etc. (Scotland) Act 1994 (c. 39). There are other amendments to section 80 and amendments to section 113(1) that are not relevant to these Regulations. The functions of the Secretary of State, in so far as within devolved competence, were transferred to the Scottish Ministers by virtue of section 53 of the Scotland Act 1998 (c. 46).
Paragraph 74 was inserted by S.S.I. 2021/137.
