CIPFA's revised income generation guide comes at the perfect time for local authorities. It reflects on the income generation issues of 2019 and the changes that are being made.
The issues that are examined in this publication include:
- the need for thorough testing and business cases to robustly assess income proposals
- the impact of the 2018 MHCLG Statutory Investment Guidance
- how the pattern of local authority income is changing.
The guide will allow councils to maximise their income potential against a backdrop of Brexit uncertainties and other economic changes. With more authorities relying on income generation to balance their budgets, the guide can help finance staff stand at arms-length to ensure councils act prudently.
The publication also has practical guidance on income generation for different service areas and there is a full coverage of discretionary charging rules.
