PDF 64 KB
To review the Council’s Local Council Tax Support Scheme and to recommend to Council the approach to Local Council Tax Support for 2017/18.
Decision:
RECOMMENDED to Council
that the current Council Tax Support Scheme be extended for a further year for 2017/18 with no changes.
Minutes:
The Executive considered a report from the Executive Member for Corporate Resources that set out the proposed Local Council Tax Support Scheme for 2017/18. It was proposed that the current scheme be readopted with no changes.
Reason for decision: To enable the Council to endorse the Central Bedfordshire Council Local Council Tax Support Scheme. If the Scheme was not approved by 31 January 2017, the Council would have to award Local Council Tax Support in accordance with the Government’s default Scheme which would result in the cost of the Scheme significantly exceeding that of the Local Council Tax Support Scheme.
RECOMMENDED to Council
that the current Council Tax Support Scheme be extended for a further year for 2017/18 with no changes.
