Wiltshire提出提高4.99%的理事会税额,相当于国家上限,以便为成人社会护理提供资金。 Wiltshire proposes a 4.99% council tax rise, matching the national cap, to fund adult social care.

与119个其他英国议会一致, Wiltshire提议2026-27年提高4.99%的理事会税额, Wiltshire’s proposed 4.99% council tax rise for 2026–27 matches the national maximum allowed without a referendum, aligning with 119 other English councils. 预算在独立议员和劳工议员的支持下获得通过,尽管有一个相互竞争的保守党支持的计划,同比增加。 The budget passed with support from Independent and Labour councillors, despite a competing Conservative-backed plan with the same increase. 虽然一些理事会寻求提高涨幅或冻结地方税,但Wiltshire将增加一项成人社会护理规定——政府限额规定的自愿征税——以帮助资助护理服务,即使地方理事会税保持不变,这可能增加总的法案。 While some councils seek higher hikes or are freezing local taxes, Wiltshire will add an adult social care precept—a voluntary levy set by government limits—to help fund care services, which may raise total bills even if local council tax remains unchanged.
