The Council Tax Precept

The precept is the parish council’s share of the council tax. The precept demand goes to the billing authority, Breckland District Council, which collects the tax for the Parish Council.

The 'Precept' is converted into an amount per Council Tax Band that is added onto the Council Tax bill.

Income and expenditure for the next financial year are calculated in the form of estimates, but the annual budget is based on known actual or predicted costs wherever possible.

Parish and town councils can apply for other funding such as grant and funding awards, but they do not receive funds direct from central government as principal authorities do.

Copies of documents are available from the Clerk upon request; they are also downloadable from this site.
