any discount to which that tax is subject by virtue of section 11, or 79 of that Act;
a substitution under sections 31 or 60 or, in Scotland, section 94 of the 1992 Act (substituted amounts) of a lesser amount for an amount of council tax previously set by the appropriate authority under section 30 or, in Scotland section 93 of that Act (amount set for council tax).
