A parish council’s financial year begins on 1 April and ends on 31 March in the following year. Parish councils do not receive a direct grant from Government. A parish council can generate income from the services or facilities that it provides (for example rent from use of premises, sports facilities, community centres). However, usually the main source of income for a local council is from the levy of a precept on the billing authority (district or unitary council) which is collected through the council tax paid by owner or occupiers of dwellings within the parish. the precept is collected through the council tax. a parish council must set its precept for the financial year by 1 March in the preceding financial year. In determining the precept for a financial year, a local council must calculate the aggregate of:
- The expenditure it estimates it will incur in the year in performing its functions and will charge to a revenue account or the year in accordance with proper practices.
- Such allowance as it estimates will be appropriate for contingencies in relation to amounts to be charged or credited to a revenue account for the year in accordance with proper practices.
- The financial reserves which it estimates it will be appropriate to raise in the year for meeting its estimated future expenditure.
- Such financial reserves as are sufficient to meet the amount estimated by it to be a revenue account deficit for any earlier financial year as has not already been provided for.
Parish councils, like other local authorities, must manage their activities within a budget. Financial budgeting and internal control of their accounts requires a corporate approach that is subject to strict and detailed statutory requirements and proper practices.
