(This note does not form part of the Regulations)
With a view to securing the central rating en bloc of certain hereditaments, regulations may be made under section 53(1) of the Local Government Finance Act 1988 which designate a person and prescribe in relation to that person one or more descriptions of non-domestic hereditament.
The principal Regulations made under this power are the Central Rating List (Wales) Regulations 1999 which have effect with respect to any central rating list for Wales compiled on or after 1st April 2000.
These Regulations amend the principal Regulations by designating a group of gas transporting companies and providing that the prescribed hereditaments which each of them uses for the purposes of acting as a public gas transporter are rated as a single hereditament.
