a plate for a car is for 1 year.....or 4 months on older cars, the office has to be open for that, and ops licences, so the 3 badge doesnt need its office open does it

But the IN side of the pot cannot exceed the OUT side of the pot.... so what they dont spend on year 2 and 3 of a 3 year badge cant cost the pot

and if i have a 1 year badge then dont renew the pot cant lose - the rents annual not per badge

So if there was just 1 car and 1 driver in my LA, they would be paying £40,000 for council fees (suing your calculations) to cover wages, rent, reates, heating, etc, etc, etc?

£10K office rent
£5K rates
Electric, phones, insurances, computers, printers,etc,etc

Dont dodge your own calculations!

You Mr T decided all the costs must be covered regardless of who had what badges and plates, so if the LA had but 1 car licensed - by your own calculations - that car, and that car alone, must cover all the costs

That's the stance my Council take.

Thy bumped up the cost by 3-4% percent every year and were challenged to produce the costs.
Everything that could be found was thrown into the mix, adding to the above list Councillors salary and expenses. Staff costs were apportioned as necessary - they don't do time sheets- and lo we reached the magic figure.

They refuse to do the excercise any more than 3 yr intervals and meantime continued add 3-4 % year on year.

Drivers badge now £235 per year, plate now £525 for 3yrs. Base license £743 for 3yrs.
Window cleaner going through the same process with the same staff £117 pa

You seem to have missed the "proportion of" bit.

In Hemmings it states
42. Both the claimants and the Council point to what they say are the unfortunate consequences of the other’s approach being adopted. Take a part of the country in which there are no licensees of sex establishments. The local authority would still have to incur the cost of investigating and prosecuting those who operated sex establishments without a licence if it wanted its area to be free of unlicensed sex establishments. The cost of that would have to come out of its general fund. The claimants say that it would be very odd if the effect of someone successfully applying for a licence for a sex establishment would be that the local authority would no longer have to use its general fund to get rid of unlicensed sex establishments, and that the lone licensee found himself saddled with all the costs of enforcement.
