Social Services: Council Tax

Asked by David SimmondsConservativeMinistry of Housing, Communities and Local GovernmentTabled Answered 15 January 2025UIN 22377

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, whether she plans to make changes to the council tax social care precept prior to the conclusions of the Casey Commission on social care.

Answered by Jim McMahon

The government has no plans to change the adult social care precept. However, on 8 January, the government laid regulations which will change how billing authorities include information on the Adult Social Care precept on council tax bills from 2025/26. This is a presentational change to council tax bills and has no effect on the overall operation of the precept.
