Decision details

The purpose of this report is to request approval of the council tax base for the financial year 2022/23.

THAT:
In accordance with The Local Authorities (Calculation of Council Tax Base) (England) Regulations 2012, the Portfolio Holder for Resources and Reputation approves the Council’s council tax base for 2022/23 as follows:
1)For the whole of its area 37,776.42
2)In respect of parish precepts, for those parts of its area mentioned in appendix 2 to the attached report, the amounts specified in appendix 2 to the attached report.

The Council has a statutory obligation to set its council tax base for 2022/23 before 31st January 2022.

The alternative to the proposal would be to not approve the Council’s council tax base which would result in the Council defaulting on a statutory obligation and trigger default calculations being made by the precepting and major precepting authorities.
