relation to each financial year beginning in or after

In
that regard, a billing authority must determine this schedule
of instalments before 31st January in the financial year preceding
that to which the schedule will relate.
Regulation 5 of the 1992 Regulations states that a billing
authority shall, before 31st December in the financial year
preceding that to which the schedule of instalments will relate,
inform each relevant precepting authority of the schedule of
instalments which it proposes to determine under regulation
4.
A
billing authority shall, on or before 31st January in the financial
year preceding that to which the schedule of instalments will
relate, inform each relevant precepting authority of the schedule
of instalments which it has determined under regulation

under regulation 4 within 21 days of informing each relevant
