Section A19 — Local Government Finance Act 1988: Making and giving notice of calculations etc.

Making and giving notice of calculations etc. A19 1 The Welsh Ministers must, in advance of each chargeable financial year—

a calculate for that year—

i the non-domestic rating multiplier under paragraph A14 or A15 (as the case may be),

and ii if regulations under paragraph A16 are in force, the non-domestic rating multiplier under that paragraph, and b as soon as is reasonably practicable after doing so, serve on each billing authority a notice stating the non-domestic rating multipliers as calculated under paragraph (a).

2 In calculating a multiplier, a part of a whole (if any) is to be calculated to three decimal places only.

3 The notice must show how any calculation has been made and contain details of any estimates or adjustments that have been made.

4 Where the financial year is one for which the Welsh Ministers have calculated a figure for C under paragraph A14(2)(c)(ii), the notice must contain the figure they have calculated.

5 Where the financial year is a revaluation year, the notice must specify the date determined under paragraph A14(3) for the purpose of making estimates under paragraph A14(2)(d) and (e).

6 A calculation made by the Welsh Ministers under this paragraph is invalid if made at a time when regulations under paragraph A18 which are effective in relation to the year have not come into force.
