(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order amends the definition of domestic property applicable for the purposes of section 3 (standard community charge) and Part III (non-domestic rating) of the Local Government Finance Act 1988.
Article 2 amends section 4 (interpretation) of the Act, so that for the purposes of the standard community charge, short-stay accommodation (other than self-catering accommodation) intended to be made available for less than 100 days in a year by a person resident on the premises is to be treated as domestic, and self-catering accommodation intended to be made available for letting commercially for 140 or more days in a year is not to be so treated.
Article 3 makes equivalent provision in relation to the definition of domestic property in section 66 of the Act, which has effect for the purposes of non-domestic rating. However, it also–
(a)provides that commercial self-catering accommodation to be made available for 140 or more days in a year is to be treated as domestic on any day on which it is any person’s sole or main residence, unless that person is treated as having such a residence there only by virtue of section 2(5A) (students), and
(b)extends the category of private garages which are to be treated as domestic, to include all garages having a floor area of 25 square metres or less.
