Accounts

The council tax for Old Basing and Lychpit (the Parish Precept) is collected by the borough council on behalf of the Parish Council. Details of the amounts charged for each band are shown itemised on your Council tax bill. Details of the Parish Council Precept are given below.

The Parish Precept

A Parish Council gets its funding by receiving a small amount of the local Council Tax. This is referred to as a The Parish Precept. For details of the items of expenditure included in the Precept charge click here.

Why might the parish precept amount charged on a council tax bill have increased/lowered even though there has been no actual change in the parish precept?
Even if a Parish Council requests the same financial precept for a future financial year, due to changes in the number of Band D equivalent properties in the Parish, the individual precept against each property may change. This can result in the individual precept rising or falling by a small percentage even when the parish precept as a whole has not changed.

Full details of the budget figures may be obtained on request, from the Parish Clerk for a small materials charge.
