Budget information Council Tax Increases and Referendum limits Doncaster Council has increased its Council Tax by 2.9% for 2021/22. The increase is made up of 2 elements, a core Council Tax increase of 1.4% as set out in the 2021/22 Revenue Budget Report and The Adult Social Care Precept of 1.5%. The Adult Social Care Precept is further explained below. The percentage increases shown on Council Tax bills must be shown to one decimal place. Joint Authorities The South Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Authority has set an increase of 1.99%. Any increase of 2% or over in 2021/22 in The Fire and Rescue Authority precept would trigger a local referendum. The South Yorkshire Police and Crime Commissioner has set an increase of 7.57%. Further information can be found online at: www.southyorkshire-pcc.gov.uk and at: www.syfire.gov.uk by searching under budget. Adult Social Care Precept The Secretary of State made an offer to adult social care authorities. (“Adult social care authorities” are local authorities which have functions under Part 1 of the Care Act 2014, namely county councils in England, district councils for an area in England for which there is no county council, London borough councils, the Common Council of the City of London and the Council of the Isles of Scilly.) The offer was the option of an adult social care authority being able to charge an additional “precept” on its council tax without holding a referendum, to assist the authority in meeting its expenditure on adult social care from the financial year 2016-17. It was originally made in respect of the financial years up to and including 2019-20. If the Secretary of State chooses to renew this offer in respect of a particular financial year, this is subject to the approval of the House of Commons.

Air passenger duty (APD) is a levy paid by passengers to depart from UK (and Isle of Man) airports on most aircraft. Onward-bound passengers on connecting flights are not liable, nor those on aircraft weighing under 10 tonnes or with fewer than 20 seats. It was introduced in 1994 at a rate of £5 per passenger to EEA destinations, and £10 to non-EEA destinations. In 2001 a higher rate for non-economy class seats was introduced. In 2009 EEA and non-EEA bands were replaced with four distance bands (measured from the destination’s capital city to London, not the actual flight distance) around thresholds of 2,000, 4,000 and 6,000 miles. In 2015 the highest two bands were abolished, leaving only two remaining: band A up to 2,000 miles and band B over 2,000 miles. For each band there is a reduced rate (for the lowest class seats), a standard rate and a higher rate (for seats in aircraft of over 20 tonnes equipped for fewer than 19 passengers).

  • Consultation on the Impact of Variations in National and Sub-National Income Tax: Submission to the Finance Committee of the National Assembly of Wales By
    Y Pwyllgor Cyllid | Finance Committee FIN(5)-08-20 P1 Consultation on the impact of variations in national and sub-national income tax: Submission to the Finance Committee of the National Assembly of Wales by James Foreman-Peck and Peng Zhou, Cardiff University, January 2020 1. If Wales’ income tax rates diverge from England’s, the predicted effect on tax revenue of an alteration in the income tax rate may differ from the ‘mechanical effect’ (multiplying the change in tax rate by the incomes of the relevant taxpayers). Those taxed may vary their effort or innovativeness, they may alter where they live and the consequences of all these decisions may have impacts on the economy that further affect tax revenue. Such migration and economy ‘spillover’ effects of possible income tax changes were investigated in our recent study (Foreman-Peck and Zhou 2019). 2. In 2018 the Scottish government reduced the lower Scottish tax rate and increased the higher rates but the Welsh government may need to be more restrained in making similar income tax changes. The economy in Wales is more closely integrated with England than is the Scottish economy. Around 95,000 people commuted out of Wales and almost 48,000 commuted in during 2018 (StatsWales 2019a). In 2017-18 net migration to Wales from the rest of the UK was just under 9,000, with net outflows for persons aged 15-29 (Stats Wales 2019b). Gross migration was much higher, perhaps five times. Over 1.4 million people in Wales (48% of the total) live within 25 miles of the border with England, and more than 4 million live within the same distance on the English side of the boundary.

  • Peterborough City Council on Council Size to the Local Government Boundary Commission for England
    AB Submission by Peterborough City Council on Council Size to the Local Government Boundary Commission for England 1. Introduction and Background This document sets out Peterborough City Council’s submission to the Local Government Boundary Commission for England (LGBCE) on council size. On 21 May 2012, the LGBCE advised the council that it intended to carry out a Further Electoral Review of the council due to a number of imbalances in the councillor: elector ratios resulting in both over-represented and under-represented areas. In eight of the city’s 24 wards the electoral variance is in excess of 10 per cent from the average for the city as a whole and in one ward (Orton with Hampton), the variance is greater than 30 per cent. This submission has been developed by a cross-party group of councillors and has been agreed at a meeting of the Full Council on 10 July 2013. The submission has been informed by: • Briefings provided by the LGBCE to all councillors, including parish councillors and key officers • Current and projected electorate figures • The work of the cross-party Councillors Electoral Review Group, who met on a number of occasions between March and June 2013 The last Review on the electoral arrangements for Peterborough local authority area was carried out by the Boundary Committee for England (BCFE) and completed in July 2002. The main final recommendations of that review were that: “Peterborough City Council should have 57 councillors, the same as at present; there should be 24 wards, the same as at present.” At the time of that review, the electorate totalled 109,100 (February 2001), and was estimated to grow to 117,990 by 2006.
