1.These explanatory notes relate to the Business Rate Supplements Act 2009, which received Royal Assent on 2nd July 2009. They have been prepared jointly by the Department for Communities and Local Government and the Welsh Assembly Government in order to assist the reader in understanding the Act. They do not form part of the Act and have not been endorsed by Parliament.
2.The notes need to be read in conjunction with the Act. They are not, and are not meant to be, a comprehensive description of the Act. So where a section or part of a section does not seem to require any explanation or comment, none is given.
