Council Tax
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what information his Department holds on forecasts for (a) parish precepts, (b) mayoral precepts and (c) police and crime commissioner precepts in 2027-28.
Answered by Alison McGovern
The Department does not publish specific forecasts for parish precepts, mayoral precepts and police and crime commissioner precepts.
As part of the provisional settlement the Government has made estimates of changes to Core Spending power for 2026-27, 2027-28 and 2028-29. This includes estimates of the council tax requirements of councils for those years. These estimates are set out here - Core Spending Power table: provisional local government finance settlement 2026 to 2029 - GOV.UK. These estimates exclude parish precepts, and police and crime commissioner precepts.
