Council tax is expected to increase by 5% per year to pay for local services, documents in reviews.

The bill is expected to increase further to pay for an increase in police funding.

Local authorities have the power to increase tax to 5% every year, although some choose a low increase.

However, the review of Wednesday’s expenditure assumes that the councils will increase it to a maximum level.

The review allocated an increase of 1.1% in the grant fund to the local government, but said that the total expenditure power for the councils would increase by 2.6%. It includes Fund Council, council tax, as well as things like commercial rates.

If they make local referendum or get approval from the central government, the council can increase tax of over 5%.

Council tax is generally increased by a maximum of 5%, which is recently stressed Town Hall Budget. In particular, some councils have greatly increased bills in financial difficulty.

Whether the council would have to increase the council tax by 5%, Chancellor Rachel Reves said nothing was changed in the context of the 5% council tax cap, which was brought by the previous government.

“This is a hat, the councils do not have to increase the council tax by 5%,” he told the BBC breakfast.

“It is to invest in things like social care, but at the same time it is normal to invest money in policing.”

Local services, from social care and libraries to uninterrupted collections and road cleaning, are funded through council tax.

Spending review also says that the power of police expenses will actually increase by 2.3% per year.

Council tax includes a so -called police preaching, which helps in fund services like regular community policing.

The Police and Crime Commissioners can extend this sermon for the band de council tax bill by one year to £ 14 per year without being a referendum. This is in addition to 5% normal growth.

The budget of the police is made of money from both the central government and the local government and the increase in the power to spend the police increases the preaching of the police, shows the treasury documents.

The documents stated, “This includes the approximate expenses from additional income, which includes the projected funds from the Police Council Tax Presump.”

Police leaders have already called for maximum money, with some additional funds provided in the review of the expenditure, they will quickly go to cover the salary of the officers.

Lewis Gitins, who presides over the local government association, which represents the councils, said that the expenditure reviews had some reception areas of support, including children’s services, affordable homes and investment in transport.

However, he said that the council’s budget would be under “serious financial pressure”.

“Many people will continue to try to increase the bill for trying to try and safety, but still need to cut further,” he said.

The acting president of the Police Federation for Tiff Lynch, England and Wales, who represents rank-end-filing officers, said: “This expenditure should have been a significant twist after 15 years of penance that has left the policing and the police officers have been broken. Instead, the cut will continue and it will continue to pay the price.

“We wait for the government’s decision on the payment of the police in the coming weeks. But with a review of this expenditure, the signs are deeply worrisome; the results will be even higher.”
