The Council Tax Precept
The Town Council's major source of income is from an annual precept which is collected as part of Council Tax. Each November the Council reviews the actual receipts and cost for the current year and considers what is needed for the next year. Using these figures the Councillors discuss and agree a budget to arrive at the precept demand that goes to the billing authority, North Norfolk Council. The "precept" is converted into an amount per Council Tax Band that forms part of the Council Tax bill.
​
The Town Council can seek other funding such as grant and funding awards, but they do not receive funds direct from central government.
