3. Council Tax Requirement
The Council must prepare a statutory calculation - the Council Tax Requirement. This is calculated by multiplying the Tax Base in an area (the number of Band D equivalent dwellings for Council Tax purposes) by Band D Council Tax. The Band D Council Tax figures are shown in a previous table whilst the Tax Base for each area is as follows:

The amount of revenue raised from each element of Council Tax in 2021/22 compared to 2020/21 is presented in the table below. This includes the reduction in resources generated by the fall in the Tax Base. The total raised which helps pay for Council Services is £98.552m. Within this amount, £10.523m helps pay for Adult Social Care services. In total therefore, income generated by Council Tax for borough wide Council services has increased by £2.086m between years. Elements for the Parish Councils are collected on behalf of those organisations.
