National Non-Domestic Rates | Local Discretionary Relief | Year 3

Reference: D813

Decision Maker: Portfolio Holder for Corporate Resources and Performance

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: No

Purpose:

The purpose of this report is to seek approval for the Council’s guidance for determining an application for local discretionary relief (year 3) (2019/20).

Decision:

THAT:
the Council’s guidance for determining an application for local discretionary relief (year 3) at Appendix 1 is approved.

Reasons for the decision:

The Council is expected by Government to grant relief in the value of its total grant allocation for each financial period.

Alternative options considered:

The alternative to the proposal would be to not approve the guidance for use in the determination of applications for local discretionary relief and continue to grant relief in line with the guidance approved under decision D686. This would mean that the current relief would cost significantly more than the Council’s grant amount for the financial year 2019/20 as described in paragraph 3 of the guidance attached at Appendix 1.
