Explanatory note
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations prescribe the maximum non-domestic rate which a local authority may determine for the financial year 1989-90 (regulation 4 and the Schedule).
They also prescribe a base rate for Shetlands Islands Council (regulation 3). This base rate is one of the elements in accordance with which the maximum non-domestic rate for that local authority has been calculated.
