Precept 2025/2026
Precept for Residents of Angmering Explained.
What is a Precept: The precept is the parish council’s share of the council tax. The precept demand goes to the billing authority, in Angmering’s case this is Arun District Council, which collects the tax for the Parish Council.
How the precept is calculated: Each parish council forecasts how much money it is going to need the following year. This is then divided by the number of properties in the parish that fall into Band D Council Tax bands. Your council tax banding will be shown on your council tax bill, or you can search for it by using this link: https://www.gov.uk/council-tax-bands
The table below shows precept demands for previous years, and for 2025/2026.
Please note that your council tax bill may still go up as other councils/services are still able to increase their portion of the final demand.

What can you expect for 2025/2026: During a meeting on Monday 13 January 2025, a discussion took place and the following was put forward - 0% increase in the precept amount for Angmering residents, this was unanimously agreed. This means it will remain at £107.87 for a band D property - for the 5th year running.
