Regulation 64 Rejection of applications by the Secretary of State
This regulation applies where, under section 30A of the 1984 Act, a person has applied for a HRB completion application to be determined by the Secretary of State.
The Secretary of State must ask the collecting authority whether a notice under regulation 63(4) has been sent to the regulator in respect of the HRB completion application.
If the collecting authority receives a request under paragraph (2) it must reply to the Secretary of State—
stating whether a notice under regulation 63(4) has been given in relation to the application, and
where such a notice has been given, providing a copy of the notice,
before the end of the period of 10 working days beginning with the day the request is received.
The Secretary of State must reject the HRB completion application unless a copy of the notice under regulation 63(4), in respect of the building work to which the application relates, which states that the collecting authority agrees with the levy liability statement has been received from the collecting authority or, where there is more than one authority, a copy of such a notice has been received from each collecting authority.
In this regulation “HRB completion application” means—
a completion certificate application that is required, by regulation 40 of the HRB Regulations, to include a levy liability statement;
a partial completion certificate application that is required, by regulation 45 of the HRB Regulations, to include a levy liability statement.
