The Council Tax and Non-Domestic Rating (Powers of Entry: Safeguards) (England) Order 2015

This Order amends the Local Government Finance Act 1988 (“the 1988 Act”) and the Local Government Finance Act 1992 (“the 1992 Act”) to prescribe a new requirement that must be fulfilled before a valuation officer may exercise the powers of entry conferred by those Acts for the purposes of council tax valuation and non-domestic rating. It also makes amendments to the required notice period before exercising the powers under the 1988 Act, and changes the fine level specified in the 1992 Act. The amendments apply only in relation to England.
