“…These can and do change differently in different parts of the country. Previous work by IFS researchers (Amin-Smith et al, 2016) has shown that even if tax revenue capacity were to grow at the same rate in all council areas, the income councils retain from the BRRS could still diverge. This is because the redistributive tariffs and top-ups increase in line with inflation but tax revenue capacity can grow by more or less than inflation.…”

“…The income from all these tariffs was used to fund 'top-ups' for councils with relatively low business rates incomes compared with their spending needs. 32 The text here draws heavily on Amin-Smith et al (2016), where readers can find more details on the changes. 33 Indeed, council tax revenues fell in real terms, reflecting two factors.…”

“…As shown in Amin-Smith et al (2016), though, the scale of cuts has varied significantly around the country, with more deprived (typically urban) areas, which are more dependent on central government grants for their funding, facing the largest cuts. One might expect that respondents from such councils would be more likely to have concerns about service quality and vice versa.…”
