§ Simon Hughes: To ask the Deputy Prime Minister what the level of council tax receipts collected in Greater London was in each year since 1997, broken down by borough, and what the forecast figures are for the next year. [163766]
§ Mr. Raynsford: Tabled are the amounts of council tax collected in each London borough and the City of London, irrespective of the financial year to which they relate, in each year from 1996–97 to 2002–03.
Figures for the amounts of council tax received are not requested from local authorities until after the end of the relevant financial year. The amounts received during 2003–04 and future years will depend upon the council tax levels set for each year, changes in the tax base, the collection rates achieved, amounts of council tax benefit expenditure incurred, and amounts collected in respect of earlier years.
