Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
Regulation 3 of these Regulations makes a minor amendment to thePersonal Community Charge (Relief) (Wales) Regulations 1991 (S.I.1991/212). In cases where the relief prescribed under those regulationswould otherwise produce a negative amount when deducted from a chargingauthority’s set charge, the amendment prescribes that the relief will beof an amount equal to the set charge, thus producing a result of zerofor the figure on which liability is calculated.
1988 c. 41: section 13A is inserted by paragraph 5 ofSchedule 5 to the Local Government and Housing Act 1989 (c. 42).
S.I. 1991/212.
