The Non-Domestic Rating Contributions (England) Regulations 1992 contain rules for the calculation of the non-domestic rating contributions required to be made by English billing authorities to the Secretary of State under Part II of Schedule 8 to the Local Government Finance Act 1988.
Regulation 6 of the 1992 Regulations provides that where prescribed conditions are fulfilled the provisional amount of an authority's contributions may be recalculated.
Regulation 2 of these Regulations amends regulation 6 by inserting a condition that notification of a recalculation, which is accepted by the Secretary of State, can be given only once in each 3 month period.
