Commentary on Sections Part 1 – Non-Domestic Rating Section 9 – Powers to confer, vary and withdraw exemptions
27.This section amends Schedule 5 to the 1988 Act, which provides for exemptions from non-domestic rating. New paragraph 20A (Powers to confer, vary and withdraw exemption: Wales) is inserted into Schedule 5, providing that the Welsh Ministers may, by regulations, confer new exemptions and vary or withdraw any existing exemptions in that Schedule. Such regulations may not be made unless a draft has been laid before, and approved by a resolution of, Senedd Cymru (draft affirmative procedure).
