Minutes:

The Executive received the report which set out the 2021/22 Council Tax base in accordance with the Local Authorities (Calculation of Tax Base) (England) Regulations 2012. The report further sought approval to delegate the Council’s estimate of Business Rate Income (NNDR1) for the next financial year to the Director Finance.

 

Members were advised that the amount calculated for the Council as its tax base would be 37,377, which was an increase of 29 over the figure of 37,348 for 2020/21.

 

Particular reference was made to the following, both being Covid-19 related:-

 

·         a lower than normal number of properties that are eligible for council tax added for 2021/22; and

·         an increase in Local Council Tax Support has also impacted on the tax base

 

RESOLVED that:-

 

(1)        in accordance with the Local Authorities (Calculation of Tax Base) (England) Regulations 2012, the amount calculated by Exeter City Council as its tax base for the year 2021/22 shall be 37,377; and

 

(2)        the responsibility to approve the Council’s NNDR1 return by 31 January 2021 be delegated to the Director Finance (Section 151 Officer).
