HC Deb 16 January 2003 vol 397 cc772-5W
Andrew George

To ask the Deputy Prime Minister how much revenue was collected in real terms for each council tax band in(a) England and (b) local authorities defined as rural, by region, in each year since 1992. [90839]

Mr. Leslie

The following table shows the amount of council tax receipts, net of council tax benefit, collected each year in(a) England and (b) local authorities, by region, since 1993, shown in 2001–02 prices. Authorities are defined as 'rural' on the basis of the Countryside Agency's classification of English Local Authorities.

The Office of the Deputy Prime Minister collects information on the amount of council tax, net of council tax benefit, collected by each local authority in cash terms. This information is aggregated and can not be reliably broken down by council tax band.

Mr. Leslie

The following table shows the number of chargeable dwellings in(a) England and (b) local authorities defined as rural, by region, by council tax band since 1993. Chargeable dwellings are dwellings eligible for a council tax charge. This information is taken from the Calculation of Council Tax Base for Revenue Support Grant Purposes Return (CTB1) which is based on information available to the authority in November each year. Authorities are defined as 'rural' on the basis of the Countryside Agency's classification of English Local Authorities.
