Authorities across Nottinghamshire are planning and approving the amount of tax they will charge residents for the next financial year. Starting from April, many authorities are deciding to increase the amount of tax they charge by the maximum amount allowed.
Council tax paid by people in the city of Nottingham goes towards Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue, Nottinghamshire's Police and Crime Commissioner and Nottingham City Council, with the tax for all three collected by the council. In the rest of the county, council tax is paid to the county council, the relevant district council and again to the fire service and Police and Crime Commissioner.
District councils are responsible for collecting tax outside the city of Nottingham. Some of the tax rises from April have already been approved, with just two Nottinghamshire councils yet to release their plans.
