These Regulations amend the Non-Domestic Rating (Levy and Safety Net) Regulations 2013 (S.I. 2013/737) (“the 2013 Regulations”). The 2013 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 a billing authority or a major precepting authority and whether such an authority is required to make a levy payment to the Secretary of State.
