(b)such allowance as the authority estimates will be appropriate for contingencies in relation to expenditure to be charged to a revenue account for the year;
(c)the financial reserves which the authority estimates it will be appropriate to raise in the year for meeting its estimated future expenditure;
(d)such financial reserves as are sufficient to meet so much of the amount estimated by the authority to be a revenue account deficit for any earlier financial year as has not already been provided for; and
[F1(e)any amounts which it estimates will be transferred from its general fund to its collection fund pursuant to a direction under subsection (5) of section 98 of the 1988 Act and charged to a revenue account for the year, other than (in the case of an authority in England) any amounts which it estimates will be so transferred pursuant to a direction under that subsection relating to the difference between amounts in respect of community charges credited and charged to a revenue account for any earlier financial year.]
(3)The authority must calculate the aggregate of—
(a)the sums which it estimates will be payable for the year into its general fund [F2or, as the case may be) council fund] and in respect of which amounts will be credited to a revenue account for the year, other than sums which it estimates will be so payable in respect of redistributed non-domestic rates, revenue support grant [F3, additional grant [F4or relevant special grant or (in the case of the Common Council only) police grant;]];

(4)If the aggregate calculated under subsection (2) above exceeds that calculated under subsection (3) above, the authority must calculate the amount equal to the difference; and the amount so calculated shall be its budget requirement for the year.

(b)the amount of any levy or special levy issued to it for the year;

(i)sums which will be payable for the year into its general fund [F9or(as the case may be) council fund] and in respect of which amounts will be credited to a revenue account for the year; and
(ii)sums which will be transferred as regards the year from its collection fund to its general fund; and
(b)that which the authority estimates it will incur in the financial year referred to in paragraph (a) above or any subsequent financial year in performing its functions and which will be charged to a revenue account for that or any other year.
(8)In making the calculation under subsection (3) above the authority must ignore, subject to paragraph (b) of that subsection, sums which have been or are to be transferred from its collection fund to its general fund.
[F10(8A)Subsections (2)(e), (3)(b), (7)(a)(ii) and (8) above do not apply in relation to a Welsh county council or county borough council.

T is the amount which is calculated by the authority as its council tax base for the year and, where one or more major precepting authorities have power to issue precepts to it, is notified by it to those authorities (“the major precepting authorities concerned”) within the prescribed period.
(2)Where the aggregate calculated (or last calculated) by the authority for the year under subsection (2) of section 32 above does not exceed that so calculated under subsection (3) of that section, the amount for item R in subsection (1) above shall be nil.

(1)This section applies where for any financial year an item mentioned in section 35(1) below relates to a part only of a billing authority’s area; and in this section “special item” means any such item which so relates and “the relevant part”, in relation to such an item, means the part concerned.
(2)The authority shall calculate the basic amount of its council tax for dwellings in a part of its area to which no special item relates by applying the formula—
B is the amount calculated (or last calculated) by the authority under section 33(1) above as the basic amount of its council tax;
A is the aggregate amount of all special items;
T is the amount determined for item T in section 33(1) above.
(3)The authority shall calculate the basic amount of its council tax for dwellings in a part of its area to which one or more special items relate by adding to the amount given by the formula in subsection (2) above the aggregate of the amounts which, in relation to each of those special items, are given by the formula—
S is (in each case) the amount of the special item;
TP is (in each case) the amount of the authority’s council tax base for the relevant part as calculated by it for the year.
(4)The Secretary of State shall make regulations containing rules for making for any year any calculation required by item TP in subsection (3) above; and a billing authority shall make the calculation for any year in accordance with the rules for the time being effective (as regards the year) under the regulations.
