Decision details

Council Tax Base 2019/20

Decision Maker: Cabinet

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: Yes

Is subject to call in?: Yes

Purpose:

To present for approval the estimated 2019/20 Council tax base calculation for the Borough and each parished area, on which the major preceptors and local Parish Councils will base their requirements.

 

Decision:

The report advised that the Council was required to approve the tax base used to calculate the level of Council Tax for 2019/20. The tax base had been calculated at 46,500 Band D properties, an increase of 820 (or 1.8%) on the current year. The Portfolio Holder also directed Members attention to the tabled paper which included the detailed tables from Appendices A-D of the report, taking account of the two new Parish Councils, and he thanked the Senior Accountant for her hard work in undertaking the tax base exercise.

 

Recommended:

 

That

 

(i)               the 2019/20 ‘Net’ tax base of 46,500 Band D equivalent properties be agreed.

 

(ii)             the distribution across parished areas of the proposed grant to Parish Councils be agreed to help compensate for the negative impact caused by the Council Tax Support Scheme on Parish Councils’ tax bases (see Appendix D of the report totalling £40,900).

 

(iii)           the possibility of further Cabinet and Council decisions being required before the end of January, should any material change in the tax base be required as a consequence of any further relevant funding announcements from Government, be noted.
