These Regulations confer a power on joint waste disposal authorities established under the Waste Regulation and Disposal (Authorities) Order 1985 (S.I. 1985/1884) (the “1985 Order”) to issue levies on their constituent councils for the purpose of meeting their expenses in respect of financial years beginning on or after 1st April 2006 where, but for section 117 of the Local Government Finance Act 1988 (rates and precepts: abolition), they would have a power under article 7 of the 1985 Order (levies) to require the councils to pay those expenses. These Regulations apply to England only.
The Regulations include provisions as to when levies are to be issued (regulation 3), the apportionment of levies between authorities (regulation 4) as well as special provisions for the Greater Manchester Waste Disposal Authority (regulation 5). The Regulations also make provision for interest on unpaid levies (regulation 6) and the anticipation of levies (regulation 7).
Regulation 8 includes transitional provisions providing for the Levying Bodies (General) Regulations 1992 (S.I. 1992/2903) to cease to apply to levies issued or anticipated by joint waste disposal authorities in respect of any financial year commencing on or after 1st April 2006 except as specified in that regulation and the Schedule to the Regulations.
