Dunton Bassett Parish Council Serving the people of Dunton Bassett

Financial Information

The Parish Council sets a budget each year and this is largely funded from the Coucnil Tax. Council Tax is charged on each property in a parish, and is seen on your annual Council Tax bill. It is used to fund all the activities that a Parish Council undertakes for the benefit of the community. The County Council, District Council, Police and Fire Service also fund themselves through the Council Tax.

At the end of each financial year, the Parish Council is required, in accordance with the Accounts and Audit Regulations, to complete an Annual Return setting out its Accounting Statements and an Annual Governance Statement. These statements and their supporting documentation are audited by the Council's Internal Auditor and an External Auditor currently appointed by the government.

Annual Governance and Accountability Return for 2023-2024

To be completed by Local Councils, Internal Drainage Boards and other Smaller Authorities*: • where the higher of gross income or gross expenditure exceeded £25,000 but did not exceed £6.5 million; or • where the higher of gross income or gross expenditure was £25,000 or less but that: • are unable to certify themselves as exempt (fee payable); or • have requested a limited assurance review (fee payable)

LE0071: Receipt of documents – notification of exempt status, 2022

This is an automated message to notify you that we have received and logged the notification of exempt status for the year ended 31 March 2022 submitted to us for Dunton Bassett Parish Council. By notifying us that Dunton Bassett Parish Council has claimed exemption there is no review to be performed and consequently no auditor certificate and report, or any other closure documentation, will be issued by us for this reporting year.

The 2021/22 reporting year is the last year of our current five-year contract with SAAA. If we are appointed as your external auditor for the subsequent five-year contract for years 2022/23 to 2026/27, the timetable will be broadly similar to that for 2021/22. If we are not appointed as your external auditor, the successor auditor will contact you directly to notify you of their timetable
