(This note is not part of the Regulations)
The Non-Domestic Rating (Demand Notices) (Wales) Regulations 1993 (S.I. 1993/252) ("the 1993 Regulations") provide for the contents of rate demand notices, which are issued by billing authorities (borough and county councils) in Wales, and for the information to be supplied when such notices are served by those authorities.
These Regulations, which apply in relation to Wales, amend the 1993 Regulations by revising the information to be supplied.
These Regulations only apply in relation to rates payable after 31 March 2012.
The Welsh Ministers' Code of Practice on the carrying out of Regulatory Impact Assessments was considered in relation to these Regulations. As a result it was not considered necessary to carry out a regulatory impact assessment as to the likely costs and benefits of complying with these Regulations.
1988 c. 41. Paragraph 2(2) of Schedule 9 was amended by paragraph 44(2) and (3) of Schedule 5 to the Local Government and Housing Act 1989 (c. 42). There are other amendments but none is relevant.
The powers of the Secretary of State were transferred, in relation to Wales, to the National Assembly for Wales by the National Assembly for Wales (Transfer of Functions) Order 1999 (S.I. 1999/672). The functions of the National Assembly for Wales were transferred to the Welsh Ministers under paragraph 30 of Schedule 11 to the Government of Wales Act 2006 (c. 32).
