(asked on 19th October 2017) - View Source
Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:
To ask Her Majesty's Government whether they plan to consider the proposal for a prevention precept on council tax at district council level to match the social care precept available to county councils in two-tier shire counties.
The Government recently published the Local Government Finance Settlement 2018 to 2019: Technical Consultation. This sets out the Government’s intended approach for the third year of the multi-year settlement, including consideration of the council tax referendum thresholds which were set in 2017-18.
The consultation closed on 26 October 2017 and proposals for 2018-19 will be published later in the year, following consideration of responses. The consultation (attached) can be found at:
