Regulation 3 of these Regulations makes a minor amendment to the Personal Community Charge (Relief) (Wales) Regulations 1991 (S.I. 1991/212). In cases where the relief prescribed under those regulations would otherwise produce a negative amount when deducted from a charging authority's set charge, the amendment prescribes that the relief will be of an amount equal to the set charge, thus producing a result of zero for the figure on which liability is calculated.
