Part I F21/09 Agenda Item No 9 Eden District Council Council 26 February 2009 Setting of Combined Council Tax 2009-2010 Report of the Director of Finance 1 Introduction 1.1 Section 30(1) of the Local Government Finance Act 1992 requires the Council to set, for each financial year, an amount of Council Tax for each category of dwelling in its area. 1.2 These amounts are based on the Budget Requirement and tax base which the Council has previously calculated, together with the amounts notified by major precepting authorities. The process of setting the Council Tax involves no discretion on the part of the Council. 1.3 Although the process itself is relatively straightforward, the detail of the Act means that the resolution made by the Council must conform to a set format, and contain a great degree of detail. Section 2 of this report consists of a recommended resolution which meets these requirements. It is divided into the following sections: (a) Budget Requirement; (b) Council Tax Base; (c) Basic Amount of Tax; (d) Calculation of Tax for different Valuation Bands; (e) Precepts of Major Precepting Authorities, and (f) Setting of Council Tax. 1.4 For information, a simplified version of the calculation is shown at Appendix A. 1 2 Recommendation 2.1 It is recommended that for the financial year 2009-10: Budget Requirement (a) The basic amount of tax and the amounts payable in each part of the Council's area, be calculated on the basis of a Budget Requirement of £8,433,286, being the result of the calculation carried out by the Council in accordance with Section 32 of the Local Government Finance Act 1992, and which includes Special Items totalling £560,225.
