Thank you for providing the detailed conversation. Let's continue to clarify your question regarding council tax and subordinate legislation.
The text in SCHEDULE *, section *(*) of the Act does indeed restrict subordinate legislation from imposing or increasing taxation. However, council tax is established and governed by primary legislation, specifically the **Local Government Finance Act ***. This means that the restrictions on subordinate legislation do not apply to council tax, as it is covered under primary legislation.

Key Points:

These regulations provide the detailed procedures for administering and enforcing council tax, which is imposed by primary legislation, specifically the **Local Government Finance Act ***.
