# The Non-Domestic Rating (Chargeable Amounts) (England) Regulations 1999, Regulation 36: Certification by appropriate valuation officer


(1) The appropriate valuation officer shall certify the values which fall to be certified by him under these Regulations as soon as practicable after the circumstances calling for the certification come to his attention (whether by virtue of an application by the billing authority, the Secretary of State, the ratepayer concerned, or otherwise).
(2) Where, whether by reason of a decision of a valuation tribunal or otherwise, the appropriate valuation officer forms the opinion that a certification under any of the foregoing provisions of these Regulations (other than such a certification which has been confirmed on appeal) is inaccurate, he shall certify the value which in his opinion should be substituted for that originally certified.
(3) A certification under paragraph (2) shall have effect for the purposes of the foregoing provisions of these Regulations in place of the previous certification, and any appeal against that certification under regulation 37 of these Regulations shall be deemed to have been withdrawn.
(4) The valuation officer certifying a value in pursuance of these Regulations shall send a copy of the certification to–
(a) the billing authority concerned, or, in so far as it relates to a liability under section 54 of the Act, the Secretary of State; and
(b) subject to paragraph (5), the ratepayer concerned.
(5) Where the certificate in question is given for the purposes of regulation 17(5), no copy is required to be sent in pursuance of paragraph (4)(b) unless the certification is one which has been substituted in pursuance of paragraph (2).
(6) The copy of a certification sent to a ratepayer in pursuance of paragraph (4) shall be accompanied by a statement of the effect, in relation to the certification–
(a) of regulation 37, and
(b) where it is a certification under paragraph (2), of paragraph (3),
and may be sent to the ratepayer’s last known address or to the address of the hereditament in question.
(7) The valuation officer certifying a value in pursuance of these Regulations shall retain the certification, and a person may at any reasonable time inspect it.
