Finances
The Town Council financial year begins on the 1st April and finishes on the 31st March each year.
At each Full Council meeting the Councillors approve the payments to be made for the previous month, as well as receiving and approving a bank reconciliation. These will be included in the relevant Full Council agenda pack.
All documents are provided in PDF format where possible. If you need a different format, or to request copies of older documents, please contact the office.
The Council Tax Precept
The precept is the Town Council’s share of the council tax. The precept demand goes to the billing authority, North Norfolk District Council, which collects the tax for the Town 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.
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.
