Council Tax
1 Mar 2013
Elmbridge Borough has agreed to set an increase of the Council Tax by 1.95%. After three years of no increase at all. In real terms, after taking account of the rate of inflation, this is a tax cut. Elmbridge Borough is regarded as one of the best run governments in the country but most of the Council Tax we pay goes to Surrey County, responsible for education, transport and social care, which has been criticized by a number auditor and advisory bodies for its poor administration.
