Variation of statutory ratio

15. Variation of statutory ratio



(1) The Commissioner, on application by the owner or operator of a public car
park, may approve a percentage of less than 75% as being the percentage of
parking spaces in that car park (other than exempt parking spaces) that are
leviable parking spaces in respect of any levy year.

(2) An approval under this section takes effect for the levy year following
the year in which the approval is given and remains in force until varied or
revoked by the Commissioner under this section.

(3) If an approval is in force under this section for a public car park, in
assessing the levy payable in respect of the car park, the Commissioner must
assume that the approved percentage of the parking spaces in that car park
(other than exempt parking spaces) are leviable parking spaces.

(4) The Commissioner, by notice to the owner or operator of a public car park,
may at any time vary or revoke an approval given under this section, but
cannot vary an approval so that the percentage exceeds 75%.

(5) If an approval has been given by the Commissioner under clause 4 of
Schedule 2 in respect of 2006, that approval is taken, for the purposes of
subsequent years, to be an approval given under this section, until varied or
revoked by the Commissioner under this section.
