To consider report 50/11 of the head of finance. 

Council considered report 50/11 of the head of finance on the council tax base for 2012/13.

In response to a question Cabinet was advised that whilst the number of properties within a parish could remain static the tax base could increase or decrease depending on the number of single person and other claimable discounts.

Officers will circulate worked examples of how the council tax base is worked out for parishes prior to the December Council meeting.
