As detailed in the recommendations.

The Head of Finance presented the Council Tax Base for the financial year 2013/14 for Members’ approval.

She detailed the background to the setting of the Council Tax Base within the deadline, which was important to North Wales Police and Town and Community Councils in setting their own budgets, and that the Council Tax Base figure fed into the Welsh Government (WG) calculations for the final settlement figure received by the Council.  It was reported that the assumed Council Tax collection rate for 2013/14 was 97.5%.

RESOLVED:

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

(b)       That the Tax Base of 60,254 chargeable Band ‘D’ equivalent properties (as shown in Appendix A to the report) be approved for the financial year 2013/14.
