Council Tax Setting 2019/20

The purpose of this report is to enable the Council to make the necessary resolutions in relation to the setting of Council Tax for 2019/2020.

 

Waverley, as a billing authority for the purposes of Council Tax, is required to set its Council Tax before 11th March in the financial year preceding that for which the Council Tax is set. This report summarises all of the appropriate budgetary decisions that will have been taken to enable the level of Council Tax for 2019/2020 to be determined and specifies all of the individual levels of Council Tax for approval by the Council.

 

Recommendation

 

It is recommended that the Council agrees the three council tax resolutions set out in the report.
