(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations make two amendments to the Non-Domestic Rating Contributions (England) Regulations 1992. They amend regulation 2(2)(a), which relates to the calculation of non-domestic rating contributions payable by a special authority. A special authority is defined in section 144(6) of the Local Government Finance Act 1988. The amendment substitutes for the existing inadvertent reference to the non-domestic rating multiplier set by the special authority a reference to the national non-domestic rating multiplier calculated by the Secretary of State. The Regulations also make a minor amendment to the rules for the calculation of non-domestic rating contributions payable by all English billing authorities.
