Council Tax Base 2014 15 Additional documents:
Minutes: The Group considered the report of the Head of Finance and Resources regarding the Tax Base for 2014/15.
The Group were informed that although the Local Council Tax Discount Scheme was agreed last year for a 3 year period, there was a report on the Agenda for the Council meeting that evening to consider the agreed increase again following public consultation. It was therefore possible that the original agreed level of 13% could be amended and it was proposed that delegated authority be given to the Head of Finance and Resources to amend the Tax Base, should the level be amended and report this amendment to Council at the Budget meeting in February 2014.
RESOLVED:
a)
That, in accordance with the Local Authority (Calculation of
Council Tax Base) (England) Regulations 2012, the amount calculated
by this Authority as its Council Tax Base for the year 2014/15
shall be 55,675.1;
b)
That, in accordance with the Local Authority (Calculation of
Council Tax Base) (England) Regulations 2012, the amount calculated
by this Authority as the Council Tax Base for each Parish area as
identified in Appendix B to the report of the Head of Finance and
Resources for the year 2014/15 be approved; and c) That delegated authority be given to the Head of Finance and Resources to amend the Tax Base figure, if required, following the Council meeting on 11 December 2013 and report any amendment to the Council meeting in February 2014.
