Section 3 Administration and appeals.F1
No rebate shall be granted except on an application made to the rating authority by the person entitled to the rebate; and any such application shall contain such information as the authority may reasonably require.
A rebate shall be granted for such period, being a rate period or part of a rate period, as the rating authority may determine (in this Act referred to as a “rebate period”).
No rebate shall be granted—
for any period before the coming into force of this Act; or
except in such circumstances and to such extent as the rating authority may determine, for any period before the beginning of the rate period in which the application is made.
A rebate may be granted either by making a payment of the amount of the rebate or, where the person entitled is the occupier of the hereditament, by reducing the rates payable by him.
An applicant for a rebate whose application is refused by the rating authority may appeal to the county court; and if that court allows the appeal it may direct that the rebate shall be granted.
In this section “rebate” means a rebate under section 1 or section 2 of this Act.
