has allowed Local Authorities to mitigate this immediate consequence by allowing them to spread the deficit over 21/22 and the following two financial years, resulting in an inpact of £1.155m in each year.Changes Impacting on the Amount to be met from Council Tax 2021/22

*Statement concerning Adult Social Care Precept
‘The Secretary of State made an offer to adult social care authorities. (“Adult social care authorities” are local authorities which have functions under Part 1 of the Care Act 2014, namely county councils in
England, district councils for an area in England for which there is no county council, London borough councils, the Common Council of the City of London and the Council of the Isles of Scilly.)
The offer was the option of an adult social care authority being able to charge an additional “precept” on its council tax without holding a referendum, to assist the authority in meeting expenditure on adult
social care from the financial year 2016-17. It was originally made in respect of the financial years up to and including 2019-20. If the Secretary of State chooses to renew this offer in respect of a particular
financial year, this is subject to the approval of the House of Commons.’The implications of the 2021/22 Revenue Spending Plans for Council Tax Payers Capital Investment
