For the purposes of a means assessment as to assets conducted under section 146 and Part 2 of Schedule 27 of the Act, or a review of a means assessment as to assets conducted under section 150 of the Act, the chief executive must assess the value of a person’s land in accordance with regulations 9D and 9E if the land is—

(b)

a non-exempt asset of the person being means assessed.

9D Value of land is capital value or fair proportion of capital value

(1)

For the purposes of a means assessment as to assets or a review of a means assessment as to assets, the value of a person’s land is,—

(a)

if the person’s land is equivalent to a rating unit, the capital value of the rating unit on the date of the means assessment; or

(b)

if the person’s land is in the form of an estate or interest in a rating unit, the value that is the same proportion of the capital value of the rating unit on the date of the means assessment as the proportion that fairly represents the nature and extent of the person’s estate or interest in the rating unit, with the proportion being determined by the chief executive.

(2)

When determining the proportion for the purposes of subclause (1)(b), the chief executive must have regard to—

(a)

the nature and extent of any other person’s estate or interest in the rating unit; and

For the purpose of a means assessment as to assets or a review of a means assessment as to assets, the chief executive may consider any evidence of the value of a person’s land other than a capital value if—

(a)

a capital value required for determining the value of the land under regulation 9D does not appear on the district valuation roll; or

(b)

either the chief executive or the person being means assessed considers that the value of the land determined under regulation 9D is not the true value of the land.

(2)

If the chief executive receives evidence under subclause (1), the value of a person’s land is—

(a)

the value according to evidence that the chief executive considers to be the best evidence of the value of the land on the date of the means assessment; or

(b)

if the person’s land is in the form of an estate or interest in other land, the value that is the same proportion of the value of the other land as the proportion that fairly represents the nature and extent of the person’s estate or interest in the other land, with—
