Cabinet considered the head of finance’s report recommending the council tax base for 2013/14. Before the council tax could be set by Council, a calculation had to be made of the council tax base, which was an estimate of the taxable resources for the district as a whole and for each parish area. The council tax base for the district had to be notified to Oxfordshire County Council and the Police and Crime Commissioner by 31 January 2013. Each parish and town council was also notified of the figure for its area. Cabinet was asked to recommend Council the schedule set out in appendix 1 to the report.
RECOMMENDED: To Council:
(a) That the report of the head of finance for the calculation of the councils’ tax base and the calculation of the tax base for each parish area for 2013/14 be approved;
(b) That, in accordance with The Local Authorities (Calculation of Council Tax Base) (England) Regulations 2012, the amount calculated by the Vale of White Horse District Council as its council tax base for the year 2013/14 be 45,964.9; and
(c) That, in accordance with The Local Authorities (Calculation of Council Tax Base) (England) Regulations 2012, the amount calculated by the Vale of White Horse District Council as the council tax base for the year 2013/14 for each parish be the amount shown against the name of that parish in appendix 1 of the report of the head of finance to Cabinet on 7 December 2012.
