Agenda item

The Cabinet considered a report of the Corporate Director of Resources which  determined the Council’s tax base for domestic properties liable to pay council tax, which is an important component in the Council’s budget setting process for 2021/22 and reported on the estimated collection fund surplus as at 31 March 2021  (for copy see file of minutes). 

Councillor Napier acknowledged that estimating the future tax base position had been difficult owing to the impact of COVID-19 and the resulting uncertainty and he added it is hoped that government will provide further support to local authorities, given the reduced income from Council Tax this financial year.

Resolved:

That the recommendations in the report be approved.
