Report of the Strategic Director, Resources and Digital

Minutes:

Consideration has been given to recommending Council to approve a Local Council Tax Support Scheme for 2022/23.

 

 

 

The alternative option to that being recommended, but which was discounted, included the adoption of a scheme, which offers less support by increasing the minimum contribution or more support to residents, by increasing at a greater rate the Council’s commitment of resources.

 

 

 

RESOLVED -

 

That the Council be recommended to:

 

 

 

 

(i)

Approve the proposed Local Council Tax Support Scheme as set out in the report.

 

 

 

 

(ii)

Delegate powers to the Strategic Director, Resources and Digital to provide regulations to give effect to the scheme.

 

 

 

The above decisions have been made for the following reasons:

 

 

 

 

(A)

To meet the statutory requirements of the Local Government Finance Act 2012 in relation the establishment of a framework for Localised Council Tax Support.

 

 

 

 

(B)

To mitigate the impact of Welfare Reform changes and the impacts of Covid on Council Tax support claimants.

 

 

 

 

(C)

To mitigate the impact of funding reductions on Council finances.

 

 

 

 

(D)

To support the Council’s “Thrive” agenda.
