(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations make amendments to the Non-Domestic Rating (Collection and Enforcement) (Local Lists) Regulations 1989 (S.I. 1989/1058) ("the 1989 Regulations") and the Council Tax (Administration and Enforcement) Regulations 1992 (S.I. 1992/613) ("the 1992 Regulations"). In relation to both sets of Regulations the costs connected with committal that a billing authority can in certain circumstances recover are increased.
The Regulations come into force on 6th April 2010 and apply in relation to billing authorities in England only (regulation 1).
Regulation 2 amends the 1989 Regulations. Schedule 4 to the 1989 Regulations (costs connected with committal) is substituted by the Schedule in Part 1 of the Schedule to these Regulations, but the amendment does not apply in relation to an application which is made before the coming into force of these Regulations (regulation 1(3)).
Regulation 3 amends the 1992 Regulations. Schedule 6 to the 1992 Regulations (costs connected with committal) is substituted by the Schedule in Part 2 of the Schedule to these Regulations, but the amendment does not apply in relation to an application which is made before 13th July 2009 (regulation 1(4)). This is the date when the Magistrates´ Courts Fees (Amendment) Order 2009 (S.I. 2009/1496) came into force, which Order amended the court fees connected with committal in relation to council tax.
