Made 5th February 1993
Laid before Parliament 5th February 1993
Coming into force 15th February 1993
The Secretary of State for the Environment, as respects England, and the Secretary of State for Wales, as respects Wales, in exercise of the powers conferred on them by sections 13(1) to (4), (6) and (7) and 113(1) and (2) of the Local Government Finance Act 1992 and of all other powers enabling them in that behalf, hereby make the following Regulations:

(i) at the end of the definition of “qualifying individual” of the word “and” and the semicolon immediately preceding that word; and
(ii) of the definition of “relevant valuation band”; and

## Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend regulation 1 of the Council Tax (Reductions for Disabilities) Regulations 1992 (“the principal Regulations”).
The amendments relate to the term “relevant valuation band”. Where a billing authority issues a demand notice before 1st April 1993, and has received from the listing officer information relevant to the dwelling concerned which differs from that shown in the draft valuation list, it is required to use that later information in calculating the reduction applicable in the case of a person to whom the principal Regulations apply. Where a billing authority has not received such information, it is required to use the valuation band shown in the draft list. Where a demand notice is issued on or after 1st April 1993, the calculation is to be based on the valuation band shown in the valuation list which comes into force on that day.
