These Regulations amend the Non-Domestic Rating (Levy and Safety Net) Regulations 2013 (“the Levy and Safety Net Regulations”). The Levy and Safety Net Regulations are part of the system for the local retention of non-domestic rates established by Schedule 7B to the Local Government Finance Act 1988. They make provision for calculating whether the Secretary of State is required to make a safety net payment to an authority and whether an authority is required to make a levy payment to the Secretary of State.
