Agenda

Notice of Motion:

Ceredigion County Council is calling on the British Prime Minister, Sir Keir Starmer and Chancellor Rachel Reeves to re-consider and reverse the financial decisions they have made regarding the issues set out below:

1.               Energy allowance withdrawn for many of the elderly living in Ceredigion which will have a significant impact on their health and wellbeing, and who will struggle to heat their homes today and, in the future, following this decision.

2.               Proposed changes to Inheritance Tax that the Chancellor is introducing are going to be detrimental to many Ceredigion farmers and businesses. No changes should be made to the current systems, in terms of the Agricultural Property Relief (APR) and Business Property Relief (BPR)

3.               The proposed double change to the National Insurance Tax of increasing the percentage payable, but also the lowering of the starting threshold at the same time should be reversed. This decision will have an adverse consequence on employment and a significant impact on the cost of running a business.

Proposer: Councillor Wyn Evans

Seconder: Councillor Rhodri Evans
