New legislation enables local authorities to
backdate discretionary rate relief where appropriate. The ability
to backdate will need to be updated within the policy and then it
will be local discretionary decision as to how far the relief can
be backdated.
The decision to be made is to whether to adopt this ability to
backdate within the policy.
