Why gross expenditure and Council Tax requirement has changed

| Increase in Council Tax* |
14.4 |
*Although gross expenditure has increased, much of the increases are matched with increases in income. The increase in Council Tax income reflects the 4% increase, as well as a increase in the Council Tax Base due to the bounce back of COVID-19.
