General information
All council funds are public money and all amounts spent or received are carefully accounted for. Systems are in place for maintaining and recording all transactions and payments are approved by the Council under the terms of the Council’s Financial Regulations. The Council’s Financial Year is April 01 to March 31 – financial planning each year commences mid-way through that period.
Please note that the figures in some documents listed above (those marked ‘unaudited’) are based upon the final out-turn figures for a particular financial year, but require submission to and approval by, the external auditor.
Town Council precept/Parish rate
The Parish rate represents the proportional part of the Council Tax (collected by the District Council) and is paid to and funds the Town Council’s responsibilities. Currently, this amounts to £204.87 for Band D, in the year 2024-2025.
Based on the above Parish rate, the budget amount for the current financial year (April 2024 to March 2025) is £1,582,898, with this being the precept amount being requisitioned from Wealden District Council.
