Your Annual Budget Schedule (ABS)
As part of the improvements we’ve been making to our billing documents, we’ve redesigned the Annual Charging Schedule (ACS) and made it simpler, more consistent and easier to understand.
Based on customer feedback, we’ve renamed it to the Annual Budget Schedule (ABS) and put all the information you need about your bills in one place.
The key changes we’ve made include:
- Adding explanations for terms used in the ABS and what costs mean
- Named contacts so you know who to go to with questions about your ABS or bill
- Consistent formatting and language used throughout the document
- Commentary box included so that we can explain any changes to your ABSs if needed
- Information displayed more clearly, making it easier to read
- ABS will be sent as a PDF and Excel spreadsheet so you can use the format that works best for you
We’ll be sending out ABSs from mid-January 2023 through the end of February 2023 for 2023/24.
