# The Council Tax Benefit Regulations 2006, Regulation 82: Meaning of excess benefit


In this Part “excess benefit” means any amount which has been allowed by way of council tax benefit and to which there was no entitlement under these Regulations (whether on the initial decision or as subsequently revised or superseded or further revised or superseded) and includes any excess which arises by reason of—
(a) a reduction in the amount a person is liable to pay in respect of council tax in consequence of—
(i) regulations made under section 13 of the 1992 Act (reduction in the amount of a person's council tax); or
(ii) any discount to which that tax is subject by virtue of section 11 or 79 of that Act ;
(b) a substitution under sections 31 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 relevant authority under section 30 or, in Scotland section 93 of that Act (amount set for council tax).
