Explanatory note

These Regulations relate to certain adjustment notices served by an English charging authority after making a substitute calculation under section 95 of the Local Government Finance Act 1988, or being issued with a substitute precept, pursuant to the imposition of a maximum amount under Part VII of the Act (limitation of charges etc).

Regulation 2(1) and Schedule 1 require the form and contents of adjustment notices to be the same as those of community charge demand notices under the Community Charges and Non-Domestic Rating (Demand Notices) (England) Regulations 1990, subject to specified modifications and adaptations. Regulation 2(2) and Schedule 2 provide for the information which is to be supplied with adjustment notices. Regulation 3 amends regulations 3 (invalid notices) and 4 (supply of information by precepting authorities) of the 1990 Regulations to apply them in relation to adjustment notices.
