Revenue Support Grant

Revenue Support Grant (RSG) is a form of financial aid provided by the government to local authorities to help fund their day-to-day operations, such as public services, education, and transportation. It aims to balance disparities in local revenue-raising abilities and ensure consistent service levels across different areas. The grant is usually allocated based on factors like population size and local needs, allowing councils to deliver essential services without solely relying on local taxes or charges. Essentially, RSG helps ensure that all communities have access to vital public services regardless of their local revenue capacity.
