Key Decision

Councillor David Martin – Deputy Leader and Executive Lead Member for Finance, Revenues and Benefits

Cabinet was requested to review and determine the level of Council Tax discounts to be applied for empty properties by the Council with effect from 1 April 2023, the new proposed increases to Council Tax Premiums from April 2024 and to agree the Council Tax Support (CTS) Scheme for the new financial year.

Members considered the alternative option of recommending approval of the Council Tax discounts and premiums to Council but declined to enable consideration of a more detailed report.

RESOLVED

that this item be deferred to the February 2023 meeting of Cabinet for further consideration.

Reason:

To ensure the report presented at the next meeting includes detailed information outlining the 12-month consultation arrangements including possible advantages and disadvantages of adopting the proposed changes.
