Council Precept
The precept is the parish council's share of the council tax and is set by the parish council during the summer, for the following financial year. The figure goes to the billing authority, Herefordshire Council, which converts it into an amount per Council Tax Band that is added onto the Council Tax bill. The precept is then collected as part of Council Tax paid by all residents. The amount of the precept and the purpose that the parish council puts it to, are visible in the minutes of meetings
