tax by the metropolitan districts of Greater Manchester for each year from 2009-10

External Finance, Revenue Support Grant, and for the relevant years, redistributed

</p><p><em>Source: Revenue Outturn returns</em></p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The figures
have fallen in 2013-14 due to a technical, accounting consequence of the localisation
of council tax benefit. Councils now apply local council tax support in the form of
a council tax discount and receive a DCLG grant through Revenue Support Grant. Previously,
councils received a grant from the Department for Work and Pensions, which refunded
the tax revenue that was ‘paid’ by the council through council tax benefit.</p>
