Land Taxation (Relief) Act.

This Act provides for the constitution of the Land Taxation Relief Board, for the de-rating of land for taxation purposes by the Minister, for the granting of relief from land tax and for appeals to the Minister against decisions of the Board.
“Land tax” means property tax, parish rates, water rates, lighting rates or any other tax or rate based on the ownership or occupation of land. Any person liable to pay land tax in respect of land, may apply to the Board for a relief certificate if that land is used for agricultural purposes and, the valuation of the land, takes into account the possibility to use the land for other purposes than agriculture. A relief certificate shall not be transferable. Any person to whom a relief certificate or a de-rating certificate has been granted shall promptly notify the Board of any change affecting land subject of such certificate.
