60,111

The Local Government Finance Act 1992 requires the ‘Billing Authority’ to calculate and approve a tax base for Council Tax purposes and to notify major preceptors by 31 January in respect of the following financial year.

None considered.

Following extensive evaluation and modelling (as detailed in Appendix 2 of the submitted report) the 2017/18 base (set at 60,111), when compared to the:

 

i. current 2016/17 base (59,358), the 2017/18 base of 60,111 represents an increase of 1.27%. This will be the ‘annual’ increase included in the Medium Term Financial Strategy (2018/19 to 2021/22) to be approved by Council in February 2017; and

ii. 2017/18 base (60,426) included in the currently approved Medium Term Financial Strategy, equates to a reduction of 315 properties; a loss of £42k in Council Tax income (based on the currently approved Band D Council Tax of £133.18).
