# The Community Charge and Council Tax (Administration and Enforcement) (Amendment) (Jobseeker’s Allowance) Regulations 1996

S.I. 1996/2405 · made 16 September 1996

Under the Community Charges (Administration and Enforcement) Regulations 1989 and the Council Tax (Administration and Enforcement) Regulations 1992, where a liability order has been made for the payment of community charge or council tax, certain steps for the enforcement of the liability may not be taken while deductions are being made for that purpose from any amount payable to the debtor by way of income support. These regulations amend both sets of Regulations so that this restriction also applies in respect of amounts payable by way of jobseeker’s allowance under Part I of the Jobseekers Act 1995.

Made under: Local Government Finance Act 1988 (Section 143, Schedule 4 paragraph 1, Schedule 4 paragraph 12); Local Government Finance Act 1992 (Section 113, Schedule 4 paragraph 1, Schedule 4 paragraph 12)
