(c) to record in the Register of Land Values the nature of the improvements on any land.

(a) to make any valuation, or to determine any allowance or apportionment factor, under this Act, or

(b) to comply with any other provision of this Act or any other law with respect to such a valuation, allowance, apportionment factor or rating base factor,

if it appears to the Valuer-General, at the time at which the valuation, allowance, apportionment factor or rating base factor would otherwise be made or determined, that the valuation, allowance, apportionment factor or rating base factor would not, at any time, be used for the purpose of any rate or tax which may be made by or payable to the authority.
