(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations revoke regulation 4 of the Standard and Collective Community Charges (Scotland) Regulations 1988 ( “the 1988 Regulations”).
Regulation 4 of the 1988 Regulations prescribes as a class of premises in respect of which the collective community charge and collective community water charge are payable premises (“women’s refuges”) managed by a voluntary organisation for the temporary accommodation of persons who have left their homes as a result of physical violence or mental cruelty or threats of such violence or cruelty from persons to whom they are married or with whom they are, or were, co-habiting.
These Regulations are consequential upon the Abolition of Domestic Rates (Domestic and Part Residential Subjects) (No.2) (Scotland) Regulations 1989 (S.I. 1989/1477) which make women’s refuges liable to rates.
1987 c. 47; section 26(1) contains a definition of “prescribed” relevant to the exercise of the statutory powers under which these Regulations are made.
Paragraph 11 was amended by the Local Government Finance Act 1988 (c. 41), Schedule 12, paragraph 38.
S.I. 1988/1538.
