Spending in 2024/25

£37,832,008 Paid out, after refunds
£33,082,252 Net of payments to other public bodies
8,845 Payments published
£500 Councils must publish payments above this

Records held for 2019/20 to 2025/26, of which 1 complete financial year. Figures shown are for 2024/25, the most recent year that reconciles against the published revenue outturn.

How this figure was checked

The check is made after money this body passes to other councils, police and fire authorities, and to central government as the business rates share, has been taken out: a precept, a levy or a rates share is collected on another authority's behalf rather than spent here. Payments to the health service, to colleges, to pension funds and to HM Revenue and Customs are not taken out, because those are things this body bought or owed. Both figures are shown.

Refunds and credit notes worth £2,295,527 are taken off that figure. The value of every payment this council published, counting a refund by its size rather than subtracting it, was £40,127,535.

What Hastings Council publishes above its threshold is a part of what it spends, not all of it. Wages and payments below the threshold are not in it.
