On the basis of an average county rate of 46/- for 1963/64 and 51/- for 1964/65, the net rates payable in 1963/64 on a holding of £20 land valuation were £13 16s. and on a holding of £40 land valuation, £48 6s. The corresponding figures for 1964/65, taking into account the increased allowances provided by the agricultural grant, are £10 4s. and £45 18s.
These figures do not take account of the payment of any employment allowances.
