44 Determination of Council Tax Base 2022/23 - Key Decision PDF 65 KB
Minutes:
The Board considered a report of the Operational Director – Finance, on
the requirement for the Council to determine the Tax Base for its area and the
Tax Base for each of the Parishes.
The Tax Base was the measure used for calculating Council Tax and was
used by both the billing authority (the Council) and the major precepting authorities (Cheshire Fire Authority, Cheshire
Police and Crime Commissioner and the Liverpool City Region Combined
Authority), in the calculation of their Council Tax requirements. It was arrived at in accordance with a
prescribed formula which represented the estimated
full year number of chargeable dwellings in the Borough expressed in terms of
the equivalent Band ‘D’ dwellings.
Taking account of all the relevant information and applying a 97%
collection rate, the calculation for 2022/23 gave a base figure of 35,831 for
the Borough as a whole. The Council Tax
Base figure for each of the Parishes was noted.
RESOLVED: That
1)
Council
set the 2022/23 Council Tax Base at 35,831 for the Borough and that the
Cheshire Fire Authority, the Cheshire Police and Crime Commissioner, Liverpool
City Region Combined Authority and the Environment Agency be so notified; and

set the Council Tax Base for each of the Parishes as follows:
