	Actuarial Valuation
		Bath and North East Somerset Council is one of approximately 100 administering authorities in the United Kingdom and has responsibility for administration of the scheme in the former Avon area.
		Although the Avon Pension Fund has the advantage of having one of the highest funding levels (meaning that employer contribution rates are below average), the scale of the increase in employer contribution rates required with effect from 1 April 2005 is unlikely to be much different from those of other funds.
		For councils around the country, this will exacerbate their financial problems and mean that they either have to increase Council Tax or reduce expenditure on services to a greater extent than would otherwise have been necessary.
