Minutes:

Consideration was given to the report of the Portfolio Holder for Finance and the Executive Director – Commercialisation (S151) which sought the Council’s approval for the setting of the amounts of Council Tax applicable for 2020/21 for each valuation band and in each part of the district.

 

The Executive Director – Commercialisation (S151) introduced the report. She stated that this was the annual Council Tax Setting report and that the changes would mean that for a band D Council Tax property, there would be an annual increase of £23.82, a 0.63% increase.

 

DECISION:

 

1)    That Council approves that the charge to be levied on the Council Taxpayers of Spalding for services provided in their town (Spalding Special Estimates) will be £223,200 for 2020/21. This equates to a band D equivalent charge of £23.82 (£23.67 for 2019/20), a 0.63% increase.

2)    That Council approves the formal Council Tax resolutions for 2020/21 as set out in Appendix A to the report and reproduced as below:
