BREXIT

November 12th, 2018 by James Goudie KC

The Local Government (Miscellaneous Amendments) (EU Exit) Regulations 2018 amend four statutory instruments in the field of local government finance legislation in consequence of the UK’s exit from the European Union. They amend the definition of a “prescribed educational establishment” in the Council Tax (Discount Disregards) Order 1992 (S.I. 1992/548) so that those institutions in the UK continue to be included in this definition after the UK leaves the EU; remove the definition of “prescribed investment” from the Local Authorities (Funds) (England) Regulations 1992 (S.I. 1992/2428), amend the Local Authorities (Contracting Out of Investment Functions) Order 1996 (S.I. 1996/1883) to remove references to qualifications from other member states and amend the definition of “money market fund” in the Local Authorities (Capital Finance and Accounting) (England) Regulations 2003 (S.I. 2003/3146).
