Under Part 2 of Schedule 8 to the Local Government Finance Act 1988 (non-domestic rating: pooling), billing authorities (in Wales, county and county borough councils) are required to pay amounts (called non-domestic rating contributions) to the Welsh Ministers. The 1992 Regulations contain rules for the calculation of these contributions for Welsh billing authorities. These Regulations amend the 1992 Regulations by substituting a new Schedule 4 (adult population figures). The Welsh Ministers’ Code of Practice on the carrying out of Regulatory Impact Assessments was considered in relation to these Regulations. As a result, it was not considered necessary to carry out a regulatory impact assessment as to the likely costs and benefits of complying with these Regulations.
