Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Order)

Paragraph 2A of Schedule 6 to the Local Government Finance Act 1988, inserted by paragraph 38(11) of Schedule 5 to the Local Government and Housing Act 1989, provides for deductions from the amount which would otherwise be the rateable value of hereditaments comprising buildings used in whole or in part for the breeding and rearing of horses and ponies, or for either purpose, and which are occupied together with agricultural land or buildings. The deduction is to be the smaller of—

(a)

a specified amount, and

(b)

the amount which would otherwise be the rent that a hypothetical tenant would pay for so much of the hereditaments as consists of buildings used for such purposes.

This Order prescribes £3,000 as the specified amount in question, replacing £2,500 which was the amount specified in 1989.
