local government funding reformInstitute for Fiscal Studies
•89% Informative
The new government plans to devolve powers over transport, skills, housing, planning and employment support to more areas of England .
It also plans for more areas to receive funding for such responsibilities via a single pot’ that they are free to allocate as they see fit, rather than use a plethora of ring-fenced grants.
The lack of an effective system in England for allocating funding between councils has long been known.
Under the Cameron and May Conservative governments, significant progress was made in updating spending needs assessments and designing a new system of redistribution.
A truly ambitious government could go further still, by throwing changes to England ’s property taxes, which are also ripe for reform.
Recalibration is preferable to wholesale reform every few years , says IFS .
Flexibility in any future system is important as different governments may make different trade-offs.
The government should coordinate its work on these issues with the Spending Review process.
This cannot get into the detail of how funding is allocated between councils, but it will provide a funding envelope for local government as a whole.
