(This note is not part of the Order)
The Council Tax (Discount Disregards) Order 1992 ("the 1992 Order") prescribes conditions which must be fulfilled by severely mentally impaired persons and various persons of other descriptions in order for them to be disregarded for the purposes of council tax discounts which are prescribed for by section 11 of the Local Government Finance Act 1992.
The 1992 Order prescribes that to be disregarded for the purposes of council tax discounts a severely mentally impaired person must be in receipt of a qualifying benefit. Article 2 amends the conditions of the 1992 Order to include armed forces independence payment within the definition of a qualifying benefit.
The Welsh Ministers' Code of Practice on the carrying out of Regulatory Impact Assessments was considered in relation to this Order. 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 this Order.
Functions of the Secretary of State, so far as exercisable in relation to Wales, were transferred to the National Assembly for Wales by the National Assembly for Wales (Transfer of Functions) Order 1999 (S.I. 1999/672), article 2 and Schedule 1. Those functions were subsequently transferred to the Welsh Ministers by virtue of paragraph 30 of Schedule 11 to the Government of Wales Act 2006 (c. 32).
S.I. 1992/548. Paragraph (2) has been amended by S.I. 1994/543; S.I. 1995/619; S.I. 1996/636; S.I. 1997/656; S.I. 2013/388; S.I. 2013/591; S.I. 2013/630 and S.I. 2013/638 (W.71).
