“Birmingham Board Tax Raise over Limit will not be repeated” – BBC

“Birmingham Board Tax Raise over Limit will not be repeated” – BBC

The leader said that the “generous” financial agreement of the government allowed the Council to be more than the original plan for a second consecutive increase by 9.99%.

He said: “Any increase over the referendum limit is difficult for people. I never wanted to be in the position to have to put the advice on the advice above the referendum limit.

“I accept that it is challenges and difficulties for people – what we tried to do is mitigate the effects on those who have at least.”

“We are continuing with our very generous scheme for the Council’s tax support … This means that 75,000 most, the most bad households in the city will continue to pay any tax on the Council.

“It is important to spread the weight fairly.”

Asked if the Council plans to raise the advice again after the limit, the council said that the Council was already in a more stable position.

He said: “After bringing the Council’s finances into a balanced and stable position and all the difficult decisions we had to make, we will not be placed in a position that we will have to break this referendum cap. I am absolutely clear that this is what we have to do. “
