Canterbury Council

Shire district (E07000106)

Records held for 2018/19 to 2026/27, of which 4 complete financial years. Figures shown are for 2025/26, the most recent year held in full. Its total is checked against this council's published revenue account budget, because the outturn return for that year is not due for about another two years. The check is made after money this body passes to other councils, police and fire authorities, and to central government as the business rates share, has been taken out: a precept, a levy or a rates share is collected on another authority's behalf rather than spent here. Payments to the health service, to colleges, to pension funds and to HM Revenue and Customs are not taken out, because those are things this body bought or owed. Both figures are shown.
