(This note is not part of the Order)
In accordance with Chapter 4ZA of Part 1 of the Local Government Finance Act 1992, a referendum must be held where a local authority in England sets an excessive increase in its relevant basic amount of council tax for a financial year. This Order specifies 22nd May 2014 as the latest date by which a billing authority can hold such a referendum in the financial year beginning 1st April 2014.
A full impact assessment has not been produced for this Order as no impact on the private or voluntary sectors is foreseen and the impact on the public sector is minimal.
