2019/20 Council Tax Information

WHERE OUR MONEY COMES FROM

Council tax (84%)

Government funding including new homes bonus (5%)

Business rates & extra council tax income from last year* (11%)

*Note: Each year the Council makes an allowance of noncollection of council tax. If the Council then exceeds its collection target, this surplus is applied the following year to support the revenue budget. This is only 0.2% of the total budget and so is not shown separately in this table.
