The Council Tax Setting Committee of Brent Council was scheduled to meet on Friday 27 February 2026 to discuss the setting of the council tax for the 2026-27 financial year. The meeting's agenda included the confirmation of the council tax level, following the setting of the Greater London Authority (GLA) precept.

Setting the Council Tax 2026-27

The primary item scheduled for discussion was the setting of the Council Tax for the 2026-27 financial year. A report was to be presented to the committee seeking confirmation of the council tax level, which would be determined after the GLA had set its precept. Members were informed that this report would be circulated following the Council's budget setting meeting on Monday 23 February 2026. The report was expected to detail the proposed council tax for all property bands across all wards in Brent.

The committee's previous meeting on Tuesday 2 March 2021, as documented in the minutes of the Council Tax Setting Committee held on that date¹, involved the confirmation of the council tax for the 2021-22 financial year. During that meeting, a 4.99% increase in the council tax was noted, bringing the Brent element for Band D properties to £1,378.26. The Greater London Authority precept for 2021-22 was £363.66 for Band D properties, resulting in a total council tax of £1,741.92 for Band D properties. The formal resolution for the 2021/22 council tax, as detailed in the minutes, included calculations for the council's tax requirement and the amounts for different valuation bands, as well as the GLA precept for each band.
