Chancellor Jeremy Hunt last week told local authorities such as the county council their maximum council tax rise would be five percent in April
No decision has been made on whether Nottinghamshire County Council will raise its council tax bills next year. This is despite councils being told by the Government they can raise bills by more next year than in previous years as they look to balance books and tackle soaring inflation.
But the county council says no decisions on whether to take its full amount have been made as the authority awaits Whitehall guidance on grant support. Councils are expected to be told how much they will receive from the Government on December 21. Cllr Jackson previously warned savings and council tax rises could be on the horizon to fill gaps if greater Government grant support is not forthcoming. And, when quizzed about it again during the full council meeting on Thursday , he said it’s too early to say what his taxation plans will be.
