Issue - meetings

As detailed in the recommendations.

Councillor Mullin introduced the Council Tax Base for 2017-18 report which was integral to the revenue budget and Council Tax setting process for 2017-18.  It also allowed the Council, Police & Crime Commissioners Office for North Wales and Town and Community Council to calculate next year’s Council Tax precept.

            The Chief Officer (Community and Enterprise) explained that the Base for 2017-18 had been calculated as 63,543 band D equivalent properties, after taking into account the total number of properties that would be subject to Council Tax, including Premium, less those which were exempt from Council Tax or where household discounts applied.  Also, setting the Tax Base at 63,543 represented growth in the Tax Base of nearly 1.3% compared to the previous year which was equivalent to an increase of 784 band D equivalent properties.

RESOLVED:

(a)       That the Tax Base of 63,543 band D equivalent properties for the financial year 2017-18 be approved; and

(b)       That a ‘nil’ discount continue to be set for properties falling within any of the Prescribed Classes (A, B or C) and for this to apply to the whole of the County area.
