  "text": "(This note is not part of the Regulations)\nUnder Part II of Schedule 8 to the Local Government Finance Act 1988 (“the 1988 Act”), billing authorities are required to pay amounts (called non-domestic rating contributions) to an account held by the Secretary of State (“the national non-domestic rating pool”). The national non-domestic rating pool is subsequently distributed to authorities under the rules in Part III of Schedule 8 to the 1988 Act. Payments into the national non-domestic rating pool in respect of the provisional amount of the non-domestic rating contributions are made during the financial year. Final calculations and adjustments of those contributions are made after the year ends.\nThese Regulations amend the rules contained in the Non-Domestic Rating Contributions (England) Regulations 1992 (“the 1992 Regulations”) for the calculation of non-domestic rating contributions and the assumptions to be made in calculating the provisional amount of the non-domestic rating contributions for the financial years beginning on or after 1st April 2011. They are concerned with—\n(a) the offset for a special authority (the definition of “special authority” is given in section 144(6) of the 1988 Act) in paragraph 1(4) of Schedule 1 to the 1992 Regulations (regulation 3(a));\n(b) the national cost of collection figure and the area cost factors (which relate to the cost of collection of billing authorities) in paragraph 4(4) of Schedule 1 (regulations 3 (b) and (c));\n(c) the assumption relating to empty property relief (which is one of the assumptions billing authorities use in calculating the provisional amount) in paragraph 2(10) of Schedule 2 to the 1992 Regulations (regulation 4(a));\n(d) the buoyancy factor (which is one of the assumptions billing authorities use in calculating the provisional amount) in paragraph 2(12) of Schedule 2 (regulation 4(b)); and\n(e) the losses in collection percentages in paragraph 8(1) of Schedule 2 (regulation 4(c)).",
