How Council Tax is calculated
Each year in March, Council Tax is set by Carlisle City
Council.
The starting point is the total expected expenditure plus the
amount required to be paid to Cumbria County Council and the Police
Authority.
Government Grants, other charges raised and the Authority's
share of income from the National Business Rate Fund is then
deducted from this figure.
The remaining balance is the amount to be collected through
Council Tax, which is then divided by band D equivalents throughout
the Council's area.
A band D property is treated as Standard and all other bands are
then calculated as pro-rata proportions of the Standard.
