Commentary on Sections Schedule 1: Local retention of non-domestic rates Part 11: Supplementary
91.Paragraph 43 provides that the Secretary of State may direct a relevant authority to make calculations or supply information to the Secretary of State and for the certification of such calculations and information. The Secretary of State may make his own calculations or assumptions where an authority fails to comply and must notify the authority where this is the case.
92.Paragraph 44 gives the Secretary of State power to make by regulations the same provisions as can be made by direction under paragraph 43 of the Schedule. This allows the regulations that will be made to implement the rates retention system to make provision for calculations and the supply of information, rather than having separate directions. Paragraph 45 defines key terms in the Schedule.
