Council Monthly Expenditures

All non petty cash payments are authorised by Council generally on a monthly basis at The Full Council or Finance meetings. These payments require Council approval and 2 mandated members must sign each cheque whilst direct debits and standing orders are merely advised as the original authority for these also required full Council approval before original implementation.

In line with new recommendations in order to be more transparent, Councils are being encouraged to publish any expenditures in excess of £500.00 and Bradley Stoke Town Council has therefore decided to publish all payment lists (including items below £500) in order to provide the community with full information of monthly expenditures.

PLEASE NOTE THE BULK OF VAT ON EXPENDITURE IS RECLAIMED AS BRADLEY STOKE TOWN COUNCIL HAS 'OPTED TO TAX'.
Basically this means that VAT is applied to all hire charge income and the difference between the hire charge VAT and the expenditure VAT is then reclaimed on a quarterly basis.
All quoted hire charges include the VAT element.
