That the Executive

Considered the information as set out in the report
and endorsed a proposed 2024/25 Local Council Tax Support Scheme
which maintains the current 2023/24 scheme, allowing for the
changes required to reflect the annual uprating of allowances and
premiums and any statutory base legislation changes which are
requires to be made to the scheme.

 

b)     
Recommended the proposed Local Council Tax Support
Scheme 2024/25 to Council for approval at its meeting on
7th December 2023.

 
 

Reason
for Recommendations – to deliver a Local Council Tax Support
Scheme for 2024/25 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 sections 7.1.2 and 7.1.3
of the report.
