RESOLVED
 
KEY DECISION
 

That the Executive:
 

a)     
Considered the information as set out in the report
and endorsed a proposed Local Council Tax Support Scheme for
2025/26 that maintains the current 2024/25 scheme, allowing the
changes required to reflect the annual uprating of allowances and
premiums and statutory base legislation changes which are required
to be made to the scheme.

 

b)     
Recommended the proposed Local Council Tax Support
Scheme for 2025/26 to Council at its meeting on the 5 December
2024.
 
 
Reason for Recommendations – to deliver a Local Council
Tax Support Scheme for 2025/26 that meets statutory
requirements.

 

Alternative Options Considered – The Council could choose
to increase or    
decreased the minimum contribution payable to the customer.
Decreasing the contribution would lead to a budget pressure and
increasing the contribution would result in the scheme exceeding
the breakeven requirement as detailed in 7.1.2 and
7.1.3.
