MOTION NO.2

MOTION: Councillor C. King

Mayors Business

That this Council affirms its opposition to the Government's proposed Property Tax and calls on the Government to instead develop strategies and policies that will properly fund Local Government and address the deficit in a manner that does not adversely and disproportionately disadvantage low and middle income earners which has been the Policy to date

REPORT:

The legislation [Finance (Local Property Tax) Act 2012] was enacted on the 26 th December 2012 and we await guidance from the Department of Finance and Department of Environment Community and Local Government regarding the implications and the financial impact of the legislation on the Council.

Should the motion be agreed by the Members a letter will issue to the Government outlining the sentiments contained in the motion.
