Greater Manchester/Cheshire East Business Rates Pool for 2015/16

Decision Maker: Corporate Director (Corporate and Support Services) and Deputy Chief Executive

Decision status: Recommendations approved

Is Key decision?: Yes

Is subject to call in?: No

Purpose:

The report sets out the proposed Council Tax Base and Non-Domestic Rates forecast for 2015/16.

Decision:

The Executive, at its meeting on 16 December 2014, delegated the decision as to whether or not to join the Pool to the Corporate Director, Corporate and Support Services in consultation with the Executive Councillor (Corporate, Customer and Community Services).

 

The final decision to join the Pool was deferred as the Council’s forecast of business rates for 2015/16 had not been fully finalised in December 2014 and any material deterioration to the final forecast could have been detrimental to the above Pool arrangement.

 

The provisional forecast of business rates in the report to Executive on 16 December 2014 is now confirmed and a decision to join the Pool can now be formalised.
