EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Order)
Section 43(6A) and (6B) of the Local Government Finance Act 1988 contains provisions for mandatory relief from non-domestic rates for certain hereditaments in rural settlements and the Non-Domestic Rating (Public Houses and Petrol Filling Stations) (England) Order 2001 added public houses and petrol filling stations to the hereditaments that qualify.
This Order further amends the Non-Domestic Rating (Rural Settlements) (England) Order 1997 to prescribe the maximum rateable values above which hereditament which include a public house or a petrol filling station will not be eligible for relief. For both types of hereditaments the maximum will be £9,000.
