BUDGETS AND FINANCES
Our financial year runs from 1 April to 31 March. We agree an annual budget in January each year.
We complete an Annual Governance and Accountability Return (AGAR) but because we have finances under £25,000 we are able to declare the council exempt from the external audit process.

THE COUNCIL TAX PRECEPT
Parish Councils are empowered to raise money for their activities through a tax (the Precept) on the village residents which is collected on their behalf by the District Council, as an addition to the District and County Council Tax. This is then paid to the Parish Council in two equal instalments.
Parish and town councils can apply for other funding such as grant and funding awards, but they do not receive funds directly from central government as principal authorities do.
