SEDGEMOOR DISTRICT COUNCIL

SEDGEMOOR DISTRICT COUNCIL
SEDGEMOOR DISTRICT COUNCIL, in its capacity as a Billing Authority under the Local Government Finance Act 1992, at its meeting on 20 February 2018 resolved to set a COUNCIL TAX for the year ending 31 March 2019.
The Council Tax was set by reference to the number of properties within the District of
Sedgemoor in the different valuation bands in the Inland Revenue’s Valuation List compiled
under the same Act. The level of Tax is expected to meet the precepts of Somerset County
Council, the Avon and Somerset Police Crime Commissioner, Devon and Somerset Fire and
Rescue Authority, Sedgemoor District Council and, where appropriate, town councils, parish
councils and parish meetings.
The various precepts are converted to an amount of Council Tax for a property in band D as
follows:
* Somerset County Council £1,115.99
Somerset County Council – Adult Social Care £76.17
Avon & Somerset Police Crime Commissioner £193.81
Devon & Somerset Fire & Rescue Authority £84.01
* Sedgemoor District Council £157.32
total £1,627.30
* includes 1.25% increase for contribution towards the Somerset Rivers Authority (SRA)

The Act referred to allows reductions by reference to the number of persons resident in the
property.
Payment is normally made by 10 monthly instalments commencing in April 2018 or by one
payment of the full amount.
However payments can be made over 12 monthly instalments by contacting the Council on
0300 303 7801.
For payers with low income a Council Tax Support Discount Scheme is operated.
