(1)For the purposes of any new or altered entry to be made in a valuation roll after the passing of this Act [F1for a year other than a year of revaluation][F1at any time the valuation roll is in force], the value or altered value to be ascribed to lands and heritages shall not exceed the value which would have been ascribed thereto in that roll if the lands and heritages to which the entry relates had for valuation purposes been subsisting throughout the year before the last year of revaluation, on the assumptions that at the time by reference to which that value would have been ascertained—
