Explanatory note

Reproduced verbatim from the instrument as published on legislation.gov.uk (Crown Copyright, Open Government Licence v3.0). The note is prepared by the responsible government department and is not part of the instrument itself.

Paragraph 5(1B) of Schedule 9 to the Local Government Finance Act 1988 (“ the Act ”) provides that a county council or county borough council in Wales (a “billing authority”) may serve a notice on certain persons requiring them to supply information in relation to a hereditament in that billing authority’s area. Those persons include a person who is carrying on a business in relation to that hereditament, of a description specified in regulations made by the Welsh Ministers.

These Regulations specify descriptions of the types of business being carried on by a person in relation to a hereditament.

They also make provision as to how a billing authority may effect service of a notice on a person to whom paragraph 5(1D) of Schedule 9 to the Act applies.

The Welsh Ministers’ Code of Practice on the carrying out of Regulatory Impact Assessments was considered in relation to these Regulations. As a result, a regulatory impact assessment has been prepared as to the likely costs and benefits of complying with these Regulations.
