Local Councils - Tax Referendum principles
13th of February, 2023
Final local government finance settlement
Confirmation that local councils will not be subject to council tax referendum principles in 2023/24 was made by DLUHC’s secretary of state, Michael Gove MP, in his statement to Parliament on the final local government finance settlement. This has been a key campaign for NALC to ensure local councils retain the flexibility to increase precepts without being required to hold a referendum.
