Councillor Evemy noted that the council tax amounts for each parish or town council were displayed from Band A to Band H, with the prescribed multiples from six-ninths to eighteen-ninths, in accordance with legislative requirements. Members were reminded that calculations were referenced to Band D, which had been set at £5 for Cotswold District Council. This resulted in a Band D Council Tax of £163.93, with Band A at £109.29 and Band H at £327.86.
