Government Response: – The Non-Domestic Rating (Provision of Information About Changes of Circumstances) (Wales) Regulations 2026

Technical Scrutiny point 1: The Welsh Government considers that the text is unlikely to cause confusion to the reader but will amend regulation 4(6)(b) prior to making to more closely follow the wording of regulation 6(2).

Technical Scrutiny point 2: The Welsh Government does not consider there to be any difference in meaning between the Welsh and English language text. It would not make sense for the Welsh language text to read “swm swm diwygiedig y gosb”, which would be the literal and direct translation of the English language text.
