# The Education (Assisted Places) (Amendment) Regulations 1988, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Education (Assisted Places) Regulations 1985 in respect of a school year beginning on or after 1 st September 1988.
A new condition of eligibility (that a child all of whose fees are required to be paid under a court order may not be selected for an assisted place) is introduced; and entitlement to the remission of fees required to be so paid is removed (regulation 2).
References to the relevant income tax legislation in Schedule 1 to the 1985 Regulations, as amended by the 1986 and 1987 Regulations, are updated, so as to discount deductions from total income of increased personal reliefs for those aged 80 or over and contributions to personal pension schemes (regulation 3).
The means test for the remission of fees is relaxed and the level of income at or below which fees are to be wholly remitted is set at 27,258 in place of the present &6,972 with corresponding increases in the extent of remission where relevant income exceeds that sum (regulation 4).
