Tax payers must be informed on the face of the council tax bill and in the information supplied with it the part of the increase that is being used to fund adult social care. The Council Tax (Demand Notices) (England) Regulations 2011 will be amended early in the New Year to require
a narrative statement on the front of the demand notice highlighting any council tax increases attributable to the funding of adult social care, and signposting to further information; and
further information about the council tax increase and spending on adult social care to be provided in the “Information supplied with the demand notice”.
In accepting the terms of this offer, ASC authorities agree to pay any costs that might arise. In two-tier areas Government expects county councils with adult social care responsibilities to work with district councils to arrange the necessary changes to bills.
