Commentary on Sections Part 2 – Prohibitions of Certain Payments Payments in respect of council tax
31.The meaning of “payments in respect of council tax” is given in paragraph 7. This category of permitted payment authorises a landlord, in a contract, to require the contract-holder to make any payments the contract-holder is liable to pay in respect of council tax by virtue of any of sections 6, 8 or 9 of the Local Government Finance Act 1992. In the 1992 Act, the relevant billing authorities for the purposes of this Act are the councils for the counties and county boroughs of Wales.
