2. For regulation 51(1)(b) of the Community Charges (Administration and Enforcement) Regulations 1989[2] there is substituted-"(b) in supplying information in purported compliance with that regulation he makes a statement which he knows to be false in a material particular or recklessly makes a statement which is false in a material particular.".

EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Regulations)These Regulations correct an error in the Community Charges (Administration and Enforcement) Regulations 1989. They substitute a new regulation 51(1)(b) in those Regulations so that that provision accords with paragraph 27(1)(b) of Schedule 4 to the Local Government Finance Act 1988. The result is that a person commits an offence by making a statement which is false in a material particular in purported compliance with a request under regulation 31(2)(b) of those Regulations only if he does so knowingly or recklessly.
