(2) After the definition of “the Local Lists Regulations” there shall be inserted—
““adjusted amount”, in relation to a relevant period and a ratepayer, means the amount of his liability for the year or part in which the relevant period falls, as last adjusted under the Central Lists Regulations (or, as the case may be, the Local Lists Regulations) since the time of payment but before the date of the relevant alteration;”.
(3) After the definition of “alteration”, there shall be inserted—
““amount payable”, in relation to a ratepayer, means the amount of his liability for a chargeable financial year or part of a chargeable financial year, calculated as mentioned in regulation 2(1) of the Central Lists Regulations or, as the case may be, regulation 3(1) of the Local Lists Regulations;”.
(4) For the definition of “liability” there shall be substituted—
““liability”, in relation to a ratepayer, means—
(a) his liability under section 43 or 45 of the Act in relation to the hereditament
in question or any hereditament entered in a rating list in substitution for all or part of that hereditament; or
(b) his liability under section 54 of the Act;”
(5) For the definitions of “overpayment” and “repayment” there shall be substituted the following three definitions—
““overpayment”, in relation to a ratepayer, means—
(a) in relation to the first (or only) relevant period, the amount by which the total of the sums paid in that period in satisfaction of, or towards, the amount payable by him or any adjusted amount (as ascertained, in either case, without reference to the relevant alteration) for the year or part in which that period falls, exceeds the amount payable for that year or part (as established as a consequence of the relevant alteration) or, where regulation 6 applies, the amount, if greater, payable pursuant to the application or appeal referred to in that regulation in respect of the year or part; and
(b) in relation to any other relevant period, the amount by which the total of the sums paid in that period and each earlier relevant period in satisfaction of, or towards, the amounts payable by him or any adjusted amount (as ascertained, in either case, without reference to the relevant alteration) for the years or parts in which each such period falls, exceeds the total of the amounts payable for those years or parts (as established in consequence of the relevant alteration) or, where regulation 6 applies, the total of the amounts, if greater, payable pursuant to the application or appeal referred to in that regulation in respect of those years or parts; disregarding (in either case) any amount constituting an overpayment in relation to any earlier relevant period;
“relevant alteration”, in relation to a repayment, means the alteration in respect of which the repayment falls to be made;
“repayment” means the repayment, or as the case may be the crediting, of any amount, in accordance with the Central Lists Regulations or the Local Lists Regulations;”.
