(This note is not part of the Regulations)
Under Part III of Schedule 12 to the Local Government Finance Act 1992, Scottish local authorities are required to pay amounts (called non-domestic rating contributions) to the Secretary of State. Payments in respect of a provisional amount of the contribution are made during the financial year, final calculations and payments being made after the year ends. These Regulations amend, as regards financial year 1999-2000 and subsequent financial years, the rules for the calculation of payments contained in the Non-Domestic Rating Contributions (Scotland) Regulations 1996. Paragraph 6C of Schedule 1 to those 1996 Regulations is deleted. That paragraph allowed local authorities to deduct from their 1998-99 contributions amounts reflecting rating relief granted on a retrospective basis following changes made by the Local Government and Rating Act 1997.
