BUDGET 2014/2015
Introduction
This booklet contains details of the Councils approved revenue and capital spending
plans for 2014/2015.
The Councils Budget and Council Tax for 2014/2015 were set at the full meeting of the
Council on 25 February 2014.
The following paragraphs give a brief overview of the Councils spending plans for
2014/2015 and how the spending is financed.
Revenue and Capital
In accordance with standard accounting practice, income and expenditure is separated
between revenue and capital.
The Revenue Accounts reflect the day to day running costs of the Council such as
salaries and wages, costs of running buildings and vehicles, equipment and office
expenses etc.
The Capital Accounts relate to major investment on the long term assets of the Council,
for example improvements to leisure facilities and car parking etc.

National Non-Domestic Rates (NNDR)/Business Rates Retention (BRR)

Businesses are required to pay property tax based on their rateable values at a national
rate levy, which has been fixed by the government for 2014/2015 at 48.2 pence in the
pound. (The Small Business Rates levy for 2014/2015 is 47.1 pence in the pound.)
Non Domestic Rates or Business Rates now forms part of the funding of local authorities
whereby the income is shared between the Government/County Council /Fire Authority
and the District Council. Stafford Borough have been set a predetermined overall level of
Business Rates income and retains 40% of that figure; any growth above that level is
then subject to a 50% levy that is paid to the Staffordshire and Stoke on Trent Business
Rates Pool.
In 2014-15 the Council is anticipated to receive the following Business Rates Income

DESCRIPTION
This area aims to provide the support needed by local voluntary and community sector
organisations to enable them to flourish and continue to meet the needs of the local community.
These grant funds follow the priorities of the Council whereby in order to qualify for a grant the
organisation should support one or more of the Authority's key themes :- prosperity, community
safety, waste management, management of open spaces and health.
The depreciation and impairment losses relate to grants for disabled facilities and other home
improvements which are categorised as "Revenue Expenditure Funded from Capital Under
Statute".
The cost of this expenditure is met from capital resources and so there is no impact on the level of
council tax.

DESCRIPTION
The Council is responsible for the monitoring and maintenance of the Closed Circuit Television
(CCTV) function for Stafford Borough. CCTV plays an important part in the reduction of overall
crime levels within the Borough and also contributes to our residents feeling safer and more secure
in the areas in which they live. The Council currently work very closely with all their strategic
partners to ensure that Stafford Borough has a vibrant night time economy and that people living,
visiting and working here feel safe and secure at all times. All the CCTV cameras are currently
linked together and assist the Police in being able to track offenders down before and after they
have committed crimes in the Borough. The cameras also act as a very good deterrent especially
when located on or around large car parking areas - this can be evidenced from the relatively low
levels of vehicle crime in the Borough.

DESCRIPTION
This budget provides for the cost of Housing and Council Tax Benefits, which are means tested
benefits administered by the Council on behalf of the Department for Work and Pensions. The
Welfare Reform Act 2012 introduced a wide range of reforms to make the benefits system fairer
and simpler. "Universal Credit" is a major feature of the Welfare Reform Act. Its aim is to simplify
the benefits system by bringing together a wide range of working-age benefits into a single
streamlined payment.
Council Tax benefit will not form part of the "Universal Credit" scheme. The national Council Tax
Benefit Scheme was abolished on 1 April 2013 and each billing authority replaced it with its own
local scheme.
