Council Tax and Non-Domestic Rates
Finance, Facts and Figures for 2013/14
The Council Tax for Selby District Council services in 2013/14 is £158.88 for a Band D
property. This leaflet tells you how the Council Tax for 2013/14 has been calculated.
It also shows how the Council finances its services. Details of the spending plans for
North Yorkshire County Council, North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Authority and the
North Yorkshire Police and Crime Commissioner can also be found within this website.
Council Tax
Council Tax is a banded property based tax with a 25% discount for sole adult
occupiers. Each property is placed in one of eight Bands, A to H, depending on its
assessed value as at 1st April 1991. The Council Tax is normally reported as a charge
for a Band D property. The other bands are calculated as a proportion of Band D as
follows:
Band A = 6/9 Band E = 11/9
Band B = 7/9 Band F = 13/9
Band C = 8/9 Band G = 15/9
Band D = 9/9 Band H = 18/9
So for example, if the Council Tax for a Band D property is £1,080, the charge for a
Band E property would be £1,320 (ie. £1,080 x 11÷9). Within each value band the
Council Tax covering the District, the County Council, the North Yorkshire Police and
Crime Commissioner and North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Authority expenditure will
be at the same rate throughout the District. In addition a charge to cover the spending
plans for Parish/Town Councils will be made, depending in which Parish/Town a
property is situated.
Selby District Council is responsible for the billing and collection of the Council Tax for
District, County, Fire, Police and Parish services.
Non-Domestic Rates
In accordance with the Local Government Act 2003 the Department of Communities
and Local Government has specified the Non Domestic Rates Multiplier as 47.1p and
the Small Business Rate Multiplier as 46.2p.
The 2010 Rateable Values came into effect on 01/04/2010 and will remain in place until
the next revaluation in 2017. Any enquiries regarding these valuations can be made to
the Valuation Office enquiry line -: 03000 501501 or www.voa.gov.uk/valuation
Further information about this and other aspects of the Business Rating system are
available on our website www.selby.gov.uk
How Your Council Tax is calculated
Selby District Council must set a level of Council Tax which is sufficient to meet the
expenditure requirements of its own services and also the sum required by the
individual Parish/Town Councils.
Each local authority (but not Parish/Town Councils) receives a share of Government
grant and a contribution from the collection of national non-domestic rates. These
receipts are deducted from the Council’s expenditure – collected as a Council Tax. The
additional sum required for each Parish/Town Council is calculated separately.
The detailed figures relating to Selby District Council are shown below.

Decisions of the Council
Although Selby District Council is responsible for collecting the Council Tax on behalf of
the County Council, North Yorkshire Police and Crime Commissioner, North Yorkshire
Fire and Rescue Authority and the Parish Councils, it has no direct influence on
decisions made by these bodies. The Council considered the estimates first of all on
the basis of a continuation of present policies. Each item of expenditure was critically
examined to see where savings were possible without dramatically affecting the level of
service provided. Net growth bids of £617,376 were identified in targeted areas of
activity.
The overall net revenue budget of £11,036,265 is an increase of £1,243,208 on the
2012/13 level.
