Summaries of the annual accounts and audit arrangements.
Precept and Budget
All Parish Councils have the right to raise money by precept (a mandatory charge) on the District Council. The Parish Council decides each year how much it needs to maintain the Council’s assets, to carry out the work required in the Parish and to complete any approved projects. This follows a budget process and results in the calculation of the annual precept. The precept required by Brede Parish Council is then collected by Rother District Council as part of the Council Tax levied on all taxpayers in the Parish.
Precept amounts:
2024/2025 £41,686
2023/2024 £39,945
2022/2023 £38,940
2021/2022 £37,175
2020/2021 £37,830
2019/2020 £35,954
2018/2019 £31,116
2017/2018 £27,985
