Swillington Village Council operates under an annual budget which is agreed at a Full Council meeting around Nov-Jan, for the following financial year (1st April to 31st March).
The Precept is the annual amount of tax charged on each residential property in the area to fund the activities and services provided by the Village Council. It is collected on behalf of the council by Leeds City Council as part of the Council Tax. The Council agreed a precept of £34,135 for the financial year 2025-26.
The Council also has a small number of other income streams.
The Budget based on this income can be found below.
