Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations amend the Non-Domestic Rating (Chargeable Amounts) Regulations 1994 (“the 1994 Regulations”) which made provision, in relation to the chargeable amount for which a ratepayer is liable in certain circumstances as respects non-domestic rates under Part III of the Local Government Finance Act 1988, for the five year period beginning on 1st April 1995.

Regulations 8, 23 and 31 of the 1994 Regulations provide for the calculation of the“appropriate fraction” which is used in calculating the maximum annual changes in rates bills from one financial year to the next.

The amendments made by these Regulations reduce the factor “X” in those regulations as respects the financial year beginning in 1996, thus further limiting the amount of increase as between the preceding financial year and that financial year.
