Regulation 3 Transitional provision
Subject to paragraph (2), the amendment in regulation 2(4)(b) does not apply to a person who, on 30th April 2016, is liable to pay council tax at a reduced rate by virtue of a council tax reduction under an authority’s scheme established under section 13A(2) of the Act and is—
a member of a family of which at least one member is a child or young person; or
a partner in a polygamous marriage, where he or she, or another partner of the polygamous marriage, is responsible for a child or young person who is a member of the same household.
Paragraph (1) does not apply if—
sub-paragraph (a) or (b) of that paragraph ceases to apply; or
the person makes a new application for a reduction under an authority’s scheme under section 13A(2) of the Act.
For the purposes of this regulation—
“the Act” means the Local Government Finance Act 1992;
“child”, “family”, “partner”, “polygamous marriage” and “young person” have the meanings given by regulation 2 of the Council Tax Reduction Schemes (Prescribed Requirements) (England) Regulations 2012.
