# The Council Tax (Demand Notices) (Wales) (Amendment) Regulations 2013, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Regulations)
The Council Tax (Demand Notices) (Wales) Regulations 1993 (“the 1993 Regulations”) make provision about matters to be contained in, and information to be supplied with, council tax demand notices served by or on behalf of Welsh billing authorities. These Regulations amend the 1993 Regulations to take into account the introduction of local council tax reduction schemes in accordance with the requirements of the Council Tax Reduction Schemes and Prescribed Requirements (Wales) Regulations 2012. Regulation 2(2) and (3) makes consequential amendments to ensure that demand notices refer to reductions where relevant.
Regulation 2(4) provides for a new statement to be included on a demand notice where a reduction under a local council tax reduction scheme applies explaining the amount of the reduction, the reasons for it and the possible consequences of failing to comply with duties to notify the billing authority of relevant changes in circumstances.
The Welsh Ministers' Code of Practice on the carrying out of Regulatory Impact Assessments was considered in relation to these Regulations. As a result, it was not considered necessary to carry out a regulatory impact assessment as to the likely costs and benefits of complying with these Regulations.
