General description

The Welsh Assembly Government conducts the budget requirement survey. Data are available on revenue expenditure, net of specific grants and any transfer to/from reserves, budgeted by each county council and police authority for the next financial year. The data also includes a broad analysis of the funding of that expenditure, including the levels of council tax set by each authority.

Data cover Wales for all years since 1996-97. Data for earlier years is available for the former districts and counties of Wales, which were re-organised on 1 April 1996. Data for individual police authorities are available for all years since 1995-96, when these bodies became free-standing, with the power to set their own council tax.

The survey has been conducted every February since 1993-94. Results are available in late March, approximately one week before the beginning of the reference financial year.

Data collection and calculation

The information presented here is collected via annual returns from Welsh Local Authorities.
