拢670 million LCTS grant distribution methodology note (indicative allocations 2021-22)^{[footnote 1]}

1. Calculate the mean average of working-age local council tax support (LCTS) claimants in published statistics for Q1 & Q2 in 2020-21 in the billing authority area.

2. Calculate the ratio of the average bill per dwelling in the billing authority鈥檚 area in 2020-21 to the average bill per dwelling in England in 2020-21 (拢1,385.15) for billing authorities.

3. Multiply the answer in step 1 with the answer in step 2 for each billing authority. Divide this answer by the sum of this calculation for all billing authorities. This gives the proportionate initial share of funding at billing authority level (summing to 1 for all billing authorities).

4. Multiply the proportion provided at step 3 by 拢670 million to get initial aggregate billing authority area allocations. These then need to be apportioned between billing and major precepting authorities in the area.

5. To apportion, calculate each authority in the billing authority area鈥檚 share of the aggregate council tax requirement (鈥�CTR鈥�) in the area for 2020-21^{[footnote 4]}. Use these proportions to distribute the billing authority level allocations from step 4 between each authority in the billing authority鈥檚 area. Precepting authorities鈥� final allocations are the sum of each allocation from their relevant billing authorities.

6. The previous steps provide allocations at 2020-21 local authority geographies. This final step is only applicable for local authority restructures taking effect in 2021-22 and are as follows:

a. For the transfer of the fire functions of the Isle of Wight Council, and the Hampshire Fire and Rescue Authority (鈥榯he old FRA鈥�), to the new Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue authority (鈥榯he new FRA鈥�): using the same methodology as that for the proposed Alternative Notional Amounts (鈥楢NA鈥�) for council tax agreed with the authorities concerned. This means that the Isle of Wight Council鈥檚 allocation = (IoW council ANA / IoW council band D charge for 2020-21) * IoW council allocation based on 2020-21 geographies. The difference between IoW鈥檚 council鈥檚 allocation based on 2020-21 geographies less its adjusted allocation based on 2021-22 geographies, is allocated to the new FRA along with the old FRA鈥檚 allocation.

b. For North and West Northamptonshire unitary authorities: each authority is given its respective shire district allocations and Northamptonshire County Council鈥檚 allocation is split between the two on the basis of each new authority鈥檚 share of the total tax base for the two new authorities, i.e. the sum of Northamptonshire鈥檚 shire district tax bases^{[footnote 5]}.
