- County Council (typically ~70% of bill): Funds upper-tier services including adult social care, children's services, education infrastructure, major highways, and public health.
- Boston District Council (District Billing Authority, ~10–15%): Collects your tax and funds local borough functions—refuse collection, housing, planning approvals, and environmental health.
- Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC, ~10–12%): Sets an independent precept to fund regional policing operations.
- Fire and Rescue Authority (~3–4%): Funds emergency fire rescue and prevention operations.
