The Council follows a three year planning cycle for revenue expenditure. This is underpinned by the settlement of funding from the Scottish Government. Almost 80% of the Council’s revenue budget (net of charges levied for services) is funded by grant support from the Scottish Government.
The Council also raises funds by levying Council Tax and charging for services received.
The detailed budget pages set out how departments currently plan to implement Scottish Government and Council policies and deliver services to the public. Service Committees have the authority to vary levels of expenditure, providing Council priorities and statutory duties continue to be met and the overall expenditure is contained within departmental budgets. Similarly, Directors can authorise reallocation of budget within service activities under the scheme of budget delegation.
