From 2013-14, Formula Grant funding from central Government will be replaced by a system that enables local government as a whole to keep 50% of business rates, and the growth on that share. Revenue spending power reflects the broader sources of income available to each local authority, including from the business rates retention scheme, as well as from Revenue Support Grant and from council tax.
