Precept Illustration

The parish precept is an amount collected via council tax to cover expenditure in the Parish
The 2005/06 Parish Precept was 45 pence per household per week
The Precept is calculated in accordance with the arcane formula outlined in table 1.

Summary:

The operation of the precept is detailed in Table 1.
The precept figures published by PCC agree with UPC audited published accounts.
The Urban subsidy is lower than the Rural subsidy, both are inflation linked, there does not appear to be a rationale for this amount,
The number of registered electors can change,
The number of band-D equivalent properties can change but is unlikely to vary significantly,

Notes:
1) Only 75% of burial ground costs are subsidised, the costs do not appear to be defined.
2) Playgrounds must be owned by the Parish Council to claim the subsidy.

Where a PC is a burial authority, 75% of the costs are subsidised. There does not appear to be a definition as to what comprises burial costs. UPC is not a burial authority.

Playground costs are 100% subsidised only where the PC owns the playground land.

As UPC does not own the land currently called The Playing Field this subsidy is not available to UPC.
