The Non-Domestic Rating (Levy and Safety Net) Regulations 2013

These Regulations are part of the system of local retention of non-domestic rates, established by Schedule 7B to the Local Government Finance Act 1988 (“the 1988 Act”). They make provision for calculating whether the Secretary of State is required to make a safety net payment to an authority and the amount of such a payments. They also provide for calculating whether an authority is required to make a levy payment to the Secretary of State for a year and if so the amount of that payment. For the purposes of these Regulations a pool of authorities is treated as a single authority.
