Explanatory note

These Regulations correct drafting errors in the Community Charges (Registration) (Scotland) (No.2) Regulations 1988 (“the 1988 Regulations”).

Firstly, in regulation 7(b), the reference to regulation 16 of the 1988 Regulations should be to regulation 17 of those Regulations. This error is corrected.

Secondly, there is a drafting error in the form of notice of amendment of the Community Charges Register set out in Schedule 3. These regulations substitute a new sentence in that form which reflects more accurately the provisions of regulation 18(1) of the 1988 Regulations. That regulation prescribes the class of person who may apply to a registration officer for a determination that the entry relating to him or her be a special entry and excluded from the parts of the register open to public inspection.
