(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations provide that timeshare accommodation is not to be included within the definition of “dwelling” for the purposes of council tax in Scotland. As a consequence, non-domestic rates rather than the council tax will be payable in respect of such accommodation.
1992 c. 14; section 116(1) contains a definition of “prescribed” relevant to the exercise of the statutory powers under which these Regulations are made.
