Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations amend the Central Rating List (England) Regulations 2005 (S.I. 2005/551) (“the Central Rating List Regulations”).

The Central Rating List Regulations designate persons and prescribe in relation to those persons descriptions of non-domestic hereditament, under section 53(1) of the Local Government Finance Act 1988 (c. 41), with a view to securing the central rating en bloc of those hereditaments.

Regulation 2 of these Regulations makes amendments to regulation 12 of the Central Rating List Regulations, which deals with electricity transmission hereditaments. It updates the definition of “National Grid” to take account of a separation of the system operator functions from the electricity transmission asset. It also provides that hereditaments occupied by the system operator will fall out of the central list from the date of the next revaluation.

An impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument because it amends an existing local tax regime. Publication of a full impact assessment is not necessary for such legislation.
