POLICE & CRIME COMMISSIONER FOR CLEVELAND COUNCIL TAX
UNDERSTANDING YOUR COUNCIL TAX BILL
The percentage increase shown on your council tax bill is calculated with reference to the previous year's combined core council tax and Adult Social Care Precept. This year, the Council has approved a 2.99% increase to council tax in totality - a 0.99% increase for general expenditure (core council tax) and 2% for the new amount of the Adult Social Care Precept. Please note that council tax bills show a rounded up figure of 1% for the rise in core council tax.
ADULT SOCIAL CARE LEVY
The Secretary of State made an offer to adult social care authorities. (“Adult social care authorities” are local authorities which have functions under Part 1 of the Care Act 2014, namely county councils in England, district councils for an area in England for which there is no county council, London borough councils, the Common Council of the City of London and the Council of the Isles of Scilly.)
The offer was the option of an adult social care authority being able to charge an additional “precept” on its council tax without holding a referendum, to assist the authority in meeting its expenditure on adult social care from the financial year 2016/17. It was originally made in respect of the financial years up to and including 2019/20. If the Secretary of State chooses to renew this offer in respect of a particular financial year, this is subject to the approval of the House of Commons.

The Secretary of State has renewed this offer in respect of 2024/25. The council has elected to increase its adult social care precept by the 2% allowed. The additional funds raised will help to meet expenditure on adult social care.
