2020/21 Council Tax Resolution

 

The Portfolio Holder for Finance presented a report, a copy of which had been circulated to each Councillor and a copy of which appears as Appendix ‘A’ to the Minute Book.

Councillors were advised that Under the Local Government Finance Act 1992 the council as the billing authority must calculate a council tax requirement and basic amount of council tax for the following year.  Part 4 of The Local Government (Structural Changes) (Finance) Regulations 2008 modifies the 1992 Act to permit an authority undergoing restructuring to calculate different basic amounts of council tax for its predecessor areas for up to seven years as part of a process of equalisation.

In response to a question on a unified Council Tax the Portfolio Holder explained that the Council Tax resolution was as a result of the agreed budget.

RESOLVED that the following council tax resolution be approved:-

1.      It be noted that on 15 January 2019 the BCP Cabinet recommended to council the council tax base 2020/21:

a.  For the BCP Council is split for the year 2020/21 as Bournemouth 63,985.0, Christchurch 20,402.7 and Poole 58,608.5 (Item T in the formula in section 31B of the Local Government Finance Act 1992, as amended (the “Act”); and

b.  For dwellings in those parts of its area to which a parish precept relates as in the attached Appendix Three.

2.      Calculate that the council tax requirement for the council’s own purposes for 2020/21 (excluding charter trustee, parish and town precepts) as £217,075,029.

3.      That the following amounts be calculated for the year 2020/21 in accordance with Sections 31 to 36 of the Act:

a.  £725,630,029 being the aggregate of the amounts which the council estimates for the items set out in Section 31A(2) of the Act taking into account all precepts issued to it by parish councils.

b.  £507,585,799 being the aggregate of the amounts which the council estimates for the items set out in Section 31A(3) of the Act.

c.    

being the amount by which the aggregate at 3(a) above exceeds the aggregate at 3(b) above, calculated by the council in accordance with Section 31A(4) of the Act as its council tax requirement for the year. (Item R in the formula in Section 31B of the Act).

d.   

being the amount at 3(c) above (Item R), all divided by the Item T (1(a) above), calculated by the Council, in accordance with Section 31B of the Act, as the basic amount of council tax for the year (including parish precepts). Appendix Two details basic council tax by council area.

e.   

£969,201 being the aggregate amount of all special items (charter trustee, parish, and town council precepts) referred to in Section 34(1) of the Act (as per the attached Appendix Three).

f.                 

being the amount at 3(d) above less the result given by dividing the amount at 3(e) above by Item T (1(a) above), calculated by the council, in accordance with Section 34(s) 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 precept relates.

4.  To note that the Dorset Police and Crime Commissioner and the Dorset and Wiltshire Fire and Rescue Authority have issued precepts to the council in accordance with Section 40 of the Local Government Finance Act 1992 for each category of dwellings in the council's area as indicated in the table below.

5.  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 tables below as the amounts of council tax for 2020/21 for each part of its area and for each of the categories of dwellings.

Precepts issued by major precepting authorities:

Aggregate amounts of council tax:

 

Determination of Excessiveness

6.  BCP Council must determine whether its 2020/21 council tax is excessive by reference to the referendum principles set by the Secretary of State and approved by the House of Commons. The measure of excessiveness is the 'relevant basic amount of council tax’ (essentially the Band D figure excluding local precepts). The Secretary of State may prescribe Alternative Notional Amounts (ANA) of relevant basic amounts to be used in respect of the preceding year where there has been a change of local authority functions. The transfer of functions in the Bournemouth and Poole predecessor areas to charter trustees means that ANAs have been set for BCP Council to use in respect of 2019/20. The financial year 2020/21 is the first year that the charter trustees will raise their own precept.

Alternative Notional Amount as regards the financial year beginning 1 April 2019

(a)           Bournemouth predecessor area of the Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Council - £1,471.30

(b)           Poole predecessor area of the Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Council - £1,439.38

(c)           Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Council - £1,476.70

 

As BCP Council is calculating different amounts of council tax under Part 4 of the 2008 Regulations, it may apply the referendum principle to either the increase in the average ANA-adjusted relevant basic amount across the predecessor areas or - as is recommended here - to the increase in the ANA-adjusted relevant basic amount in each individual predecessor area.

As such the authority’s relevant basic amount of council tax for 2020/21 is excessive if the amount mentioned in section 52ZC(3C)(a)(a) of the 1992 Act is 4% (comprising 2% for expenditure on adult social care and 2% for other expenditure), or more than 4%, greater than the amount mentioned in section 52ZC(3C)(b) of that Act in one or more of its predecessor areas.

The value of the increase for Bournemouth is calculated as 3.99%, Christchurch as a 3.55% reduction, and Poole as 3.99% and therefore the council has determined that there is no excessive increase.

In accordance with The Local Authorities (Standing Orders) (England) (Amendment) Regulations 2014 a recorded vote was taken on the item, the result of which was as follows:-
