APPENDIX A
Council Tax Resolution 2015/16
Report of the Executive Manager – Finance and Commercial
The Council is recommended to resolve as follows:
That it be noted that the Council calculated the following amounts for the year
2015/16 in accordance with the Local Government Finance Act 1992 as amended
(the “Act”);
a)
Rushcliffe Borough
Council’s Council Tax Base for 2015/16 has been
calculated as 39,923.1 [Item T in the formula in Section 31B of the Local
Government finance Act 1992 as amended by Section 74 of the Localism
Act 2011 (the “Act”)];
b)
For dwellings in those parts of the Borough to which a Parish Precept
relates as detailed in Appendix Ai;
c)
The Council Tax requirement for the
Council’s own purposes for 2015/16
(excluding Parish Precepts) is £4,710,526;
d)
That the following amounts be now calculated by the Council for the year
2015/16 in accordance with Sections 31 to 36 of the Local Government
Finance Act 1992 as amended by Section 74 of the Localism Act 2011;
i.
£37,017,931 being the aggregate of the amounts which the Council
estimates for the items set out in Section 31 A (2)(a) to (f) of the Act
taking into account all precepts issued to it by Parish Councils.
(Gross
expenditure,
parish
and
special
expenses,
any
contingencies, any provisions for reserves);
ii.
£29,842,899 being the aggregate of the amounts which the Council
estimates for the items set out in Section (A) (3) (a) to (d) of the Act.
(Gross income, any use of reserves);
iii.
£7,175,032 being the amount by which the aggregate at (d)(i)
above exceeds the aggregate of (d) (ii) above, calculated by the
Council, in accordance with Section31A (4) of the Act, as its Council
Tax Requirement. [Item R in the formula in Section 31B of the Act]
(Expenditure less income);
v.
£2,464,506 being the aggregate amount of the Parish Precepts and
Special Expenses referred to in Section 34 (3) of the Act. (Total
amount of parish precepts as per AppendixAi);
vi.
£117.99 being the amount at (d) (iii) above less (d) (v) above dividing
the result by item T ((1) (a) above), calculated by the Council, in
accordance with section34 (2) of the Act, as the basic amount of its
Council Tax for the year for dwellings in those parts of its area to
which no Parish Precepts or Special Expenses relate. (i.e. the
Borough
Council’s precept of £4,710,526 divided by the Council Tax
base of 39,923.1, this Council’s own Council Tax at Band D);
e)
That it be noted for the year 2015/16 Nottinghamshire County Council,
Nottinghamshire Police and Crime Commissioner and Nottinghamshire and
City of Nottingham Fire Authority have issued precepts in accordance with
Section 40 of the Act for each of the categories of dwellings shown in Table
1;
f)
That the Council in accordance with Sections 30 and 36 of the Local
Government Finance Act 1992, hereby sets the aggregate amounts
shown in the Appendices A(i) and A(ii) for 2015/16 for each part of the
Borough and for each of the categories of dwellings;
g)
The Council has determined that its relevant basic amount of Council Tax for
2015/16 is not excessive in accordance with principles approved under
Section 52ZB Local Government Finance Act 1992. As the billing authority,
the Council has not been notified by a major precepting authority that its
relevant basic amount of Council Tax for 2015/16 is excessive and that the
billing authority is not required to hold a referendum in accordance with
Section 52ZK Local Government Finance Act 1992.
