Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations revoke regulation 4 of the Standard and Collective Community Charges (Scotland) Regulations 1988 ( “the 1988 Regulations”).

Regulation 4 of the 1988 Regulations prescribes as a class of premises in respect of which the collective community charge and collective community water charge are payable premises (“women’s refuges”) managed by a voluntary organisation for the temporary accommodation of persons who have left their homes as a result of physical violence or mental cruelty or threats of such violence or cruelty from persons to whom they are married or with whom they are, or were, co-habiting.

These Regulations are consequential upon the Abolition of Domestic Rates (Domestic and Part Residential Subjects) (No.2) (Scotland) Regulations 1989 (S.I. 1989/1477) which make women’s refuges liable to rates.
