Overview

We plan to spend 拢276.4m in 2024 / 25 to provide services for South Tyneside's residents, including 拢119.0m on education.

Most of our money comes from Government (around 73%) either through our revenue support grant, dedicated schools grant (funding for education) or from business rates. The remaining 27% of our money comes from the council taxpayers.

We expect to receive council tax income of 拢75.4m in 2024 / 25.

Business rates

The amount that local businesses pay is calculated by applying a multiplier set by the Government to the rateable value of a property.

The Government introduced a new system of accounting for Business Rates from 2013 / 14 in that the 兔子先生 is now allowed to retain a proportion of Business Rates collected with the Government grant being reduced accordingly.
