Your guide to council taxThis leaflet provides information about the budgets for local public services for the year ahead and explains your council tax bill.

We pride ourselves on low council tax levels. By living in North Somerset you are benefiting every year from one of the lowest levels of council tax in the whole of the South West.

We’ve achieved over £100m of savings over the last ten years and we’ve worked hard to protect valued local services wherever we can. We’ve done this by being more innovative, trying to become more commercial and also making some hard decisions about some of our services to protect our most vulnerable.

Despite the council tax rise of 1.99% in April and the 2% levy specifically to help fund the increasing costs and demand for adult social care, the average Band D council tax bill for council services will be £1,433.50.

The council budget reflects our commitment to reducing the inequalities that exist in North Somerset. It includes changes to the council tax support scheme for residents on the lowest incomes to reduce the minimum contribution payable by 3%.

The council is also keen to recruit more local foster carers to look after the area’s vulnerable children and the budget includes an improved benefits and support package to retain existing carers and encourage new ones.

The year ahead will also see increased investment in early intervention and prevention services for children, changes to parking charges, investment in cultural development, a programme to bring empty retail units in Weston’s town centre back into use and changes to the garden waste service.

The budget will see finances dedicated to improving community engagement and consultation in council activities and resources allocated to tackling the climate emergency.

What is council tax?It’s a local property tax levied by councils, to be used alongside reducing central government funding and other funding to pay for the local services they provide.

Who decides how much I have to pay?

Council tax is based on property value. Every property is put into a banding and charged accordingly after certain other factors are taken into account.

If you think your house is in an incorrect council tax band, you can appeal:

www.gov.uk/council-tax-appeals or call: 03000 501 501

How can I pay?

Almost 75% of households in North Somerset pay their council tax by direct debit meaning they never put themselves in danger of missing a payment. Set up a direct debit and join the crowd today.www.n-somerset.gov.uk/myaccount

Council tax and housing benefits have gone digital

of circumstances or a change of address, set up a direct debit or just view your account balance.

Going digital means we can process many of your requests earlier and provided any additional documents are submitted with your application, you may receive your benefit earlier. For those customers who may have difficulty getting online or have additional needs, support is available. Please visit us at the Town Hall, Weston-super-Mare or Castlewood Offices, Clevedon and one of our customer service advisers will assist you.

Our bank sort code has changed:Original bank sort code 20-94-74

New bank sort code 20-95-08

Direct Debit payments should have now been updated but all other methods of payment with the old code have been automatically redirected by Barclays bank until now, but this is changing, and you need to check and update your payment details as your payment will be rejected.

What does your council tax pay for?North Somerset Council provides a wide range of services including education, planning, transport, highways, social care, public health, libraries, leisure and recreation, recycling and waste collection, environmental health and trading standards among many others. The money you pay also funds the police and fire and rescue service, as well as supporting work in your local parish or town.

Parish and town councils raise their money primarily from a levy called a precept. We collect the precept on behalf of town and parish councils and pass it on to them.

Help with your bill

Council tax supportIf you are on a low income and currently pay council tax, you may be eligible for council tax support even if you receive other benefits or council tax discounts.

Please visit our website to register for MyAccount and make your application online. If you are unable to get online or have additional needs please visit us at the Town Hall, Weston-super-Mare or Castlewood Offices, Clevedon where one of our customer service advisers will assist you.

You can also visit any of our libraries and use one of the public access computers to make your application.

If you receive council tax support an amount will be taken off the total council tax you owe for the year and this is shown on the front of your bill.

What to do if your circumstances changeIf your circumstances change you must tell us as soon as the changes happen. It is an offence not to tell us about any change in your circumstances that affects your support and could result in a fine of £70 or prosecution. Don’t rely on someone else to pass the message on. Examples of changes in circumstances are:

● you move home ● your rent changes ● any changes to the income or circumstances of anyone who lives with you

● someone moves into or out of your home

● you’re going to be away from your home for more than four weeks.

If the change in your income affects your entitlement to council tax support a revised bill will be issued.

You can request a written statement of your entitlement, within one month of the decision being made, by contacting the council. If you want to appeal, this should be in writing within two months of the decision, to the council, who will review the

6

decision. If you remain dissatisfied a further appeal can be made to the Valuation Tribunal. Details of how you can appeal can be found at www. n-somerset.gov.uk/counciltaxsupport.

Long-term empty propertiesSince 2013/2014 local authorities have had the discretion to charge a premium for properties that are classed as long-term empty. To date, we have been one of a small number of local authorities that have chosen not to charge a premium.

However, in light of increased budgetary pressure and the need to bring empty properties back in to use, it has been necessary to review this decision.

From 1 April 2020, we will be introducing a premium for any property that has been classed as

empty for more than two years. The amount of the premium payable will be as follows:

Properties that have been empty for over two years will be charged a premium of 100% from 1 April 2020. For example, if you are paying £1,000 per year currently, you will be paying £2,000 from 1 April 2020.

Properties that have been empty for over five years will be charged a premium of 200% from 1 April 2020. For example, if you are paying £1,000 per year currently, you will be paying £3,000 from 1 April 2020.

CHANGES IN SPENDING

The net expenditure will be £22.5m higher in 2020/21 compared to 2019/20 following a rise in council tax funding and additional funding from central government through Operation Uplift to increase police officer numbers nationally by 20,000.The PCC has taken the decision to increase the policing part of the council tax by £10 a year for an average Band D home.This means the average Band D precept will be £227.81 a year.The increased grant and council tax will cover unavoidable cost increases and inflationary pressures. The additional funding will generate funds to invest in an extra 75 police staff investigators who will focus on improving outcomes for victims. The precept increase will also go towards maintaining the 15 additional PCSOs who are working closely with local schools.

Adult social care preceptThe Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government previously made an offer to councils with responsibilities for adult social care.

The offer was the option of an adult social care authority being able to charge an additional “precept” on its council tax without holding a referendum, to assist the authority in meeting its expenditure on adult social care from the financial year 2016/17. It was originally made in respect of the financial years up to and including 2019/20. If the Secretary of State

chooses to renew this offer in respect of a particular financial year, this is subject to the approval of the House of Commons.

In relation to 2020/21 the Secretary of State renewed this offer to adult social care authorities subject to a limit of 2%.

For councils with responsibilities for adult social care, council tax demand notices show two percentage changes: one for the part of the overall change attributable to the adult social care precept, and one for the part attributable to general expenditure.
