Parish Council Precept 2022-2023Parish Councils raise money from their parishioners via the Council Tax process. They do this by 'precepting' on the principal council (Rushcliffe Borough Council) who levy on tax payers in that parish as part of the Council Tax billing. A Council Tax payer's bill will typically include a Council Tax charge for the County Council, Police Authority, District or Borough Council and the Parish Council.
The Parish Council precept for Granby cum Sutton has remained unchanged for the past 14 years but Cllrs having taking into consideration loss of revenue and potential capital expenditure have decided an increase of 1.9%, which will result in a Band D level of £59.21, with the precept total being £10,700. |
