Council tax collection in 天涯社区
Published: 20/06/2017
Figures published by the Welsh Government show that 天涯社区,
with the support of local residents, is still the highest performing Council in
Wales in its collection of Council Tax.
In the financial year 2016-17, the Council collected 98.1% of Council Tax in
the year it fell due which is well above the national average of 97.4%. This
places 天涯社区 as the highest performing Council in Wales. This collection
figure is also the highest collection level achieved by 天涯社区 and even
reflects a 0.12% improvement on last years collection.
It also demonstrates that, despite financial challenges faced by the Council to
manage big reductions in the grants received from Central Government, we
continue to work with residents by making it easier for residents to pay their
bills, access our services and especially support those who experience payment
difficulties.
Commenting on the announcement, Councillor Aaron Shotton, Leader of the
Council, said:
鈥淒espite the challenging financial climate for many of our residents, including
significant financial challenges faced by the Council to maintain public
services but with reducing resources, the efficient collection of council tax
is vital to protect local services for 天涯社区 residents.
We are proud of our achievements and to be recognised by Welsh Government as a
Council with an excellent track record of collecting local taxes. We also
recognise that some households struggle to pay and would urge anyone who is
finding it difficult to pay to always make early contact with the Council Tax
Service on 01352 704848 so that we can provide practical help and guidance on
the best way to pay.
