Council Tax legislation sets out a procedure
to be followed to set the council tax each year. The stages
are
i. Calculate the tax base
ii. Calculate the amount to be raised from the council tax
iii. Divide the amount to be raised by the tax base to calculate
the council tax rate for the year
It is a legal requirement that the tax base is calculated and
approved by 31 January each year.
Each billing authority is required to estimate the level of surplus
or deficit on the Council Tax and Business Rate elements of the
Collection Fund at the end of each financial year in order that
these amounts can be included in the calculation of the Council Tax
for the coming financial year.
These estimates must be made and notified to all precepting
Authorities, by the 15 January each year (or the earliest working
day before this date if it falls on a weekend). This has been
completed and is included in this report for information
For Business Rates the process requires completion of the NNDR1
form which must be ‘signed-off’ by the Council and
returned to the DCLG by 31 January 2018.
Council has delegated authority to the Chief Financial Officer
following consultation with the Cabinet Member for Finance to
approve the Collection Fund Surplus/ Deficit 2017/18, the Council
Tax Base for the City of Southampton 2018/19, and the NNDR1
return.
