It acts as the main source of income for local authorities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These funds are used to pay for services including libraries, rubbish collection, police and fire services, and parks and recreation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed alignfull is-type-wp-embed is-provider-flourish wp-block-embed-flourish\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" title=\"Interactive or visual content\" src=\"https:\/\/flo.uri.sh\/visualisation\/12812899\/embed#?secret=1ZMkPeLhWC\" data-secret=\"1ZMkPeLhWC\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" height=\"575\" width=\"700\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Average council tax increases according to <a href=\"https:\/\/assets.publishing.service.gov.uk\/government\/uploads\/system\/uploads\/attachment_data\/file\/1065690\/CTR_Table__live__-_Band_D_2022-23.xlsx\">gov.uk<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Historically council tax rises year-on-year to ensure these services are protected. However, the amount that local councils can raise the tax without requiring a vote has recently increased, despite the cost of living crisis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Until last year, councils needed to hold a local referendum if they wanted to increase council tax by more than three per cent. However Jeremy Hunt announced in his 2022 Autumn statement that he would be increasing this to five per cent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As published on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/news\/uk-politics-64627967\">BBC website<\/a>, Work and Pension Secretary Mel Stride said the rise in council tax would be &#8220;below inflation increase&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He said: &#8220;It is for local authorities who are elected by local electors to take those decisions to try and get that balance between the pressure they&#8217;re putting on local tax payers, but also making sure they&#8217;re able to continue to provide those services.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Sheffield, cuts to government funding between 2010 and 2020 means the council has&nbsp;\u00a3856 less to spend per household in real terms than it did a decade ago. This has resulted in the City Council making the decision to make use of the full council tax increase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As reported by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/news\/uk-england-south-yorkshire-64640179\">BBC<\/a>, Tony Kirkham, interim director of finance and commercial services, warned that if it did not act, the authority would &#8220;become financially unsound from 2024-25 onwards&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How will rising council tax prices affect you?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Research from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.countycouncilsnetwork.org.uk\/three-in-four-councils-to-increase-council-tax-by-the-maximum-in-april-as-local-authorities-say-they-have-little-choice-in-order-to-protect-vital-services\/\">County Councils Network (CCN)<\/a> shows 84 of the 114 councils that have announced their budget proposals for 2023\/2024 intend to raise council tax by 4.99 per cent, which roughly equates to three in every four.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As it stands, the only local authority which is not raising council tax rates at all is Central Bedfordshire council.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each city council in South Yorkshire is able to set their own council tax rates, meaning that the increase will differ depending on which area you live in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed alignfull is-type-wp-embed is-provider-flourish wp-block-embed-flourish\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" title=\"Interactive or visual content\" src=\"https:\/\/flo.uri.sh\/visualisation\/12812269\/embed#?secret=VDr2bFoBRk\" data-secret=\"VDr2bFoBRk\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" height=\"575\" width=\"700\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sheffield<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Sheffield City Council has proposed a 4.99 per cent increase in council tax in their 2023\/2024 budget, which will be considered as a part of the draft budget proposal on 21 February.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This means the average household will see an increase of between \u00a35 &#8211; \u00a310 a month.
