Indexation Guidance Note
All CIL Liability Notices issued by the Council from 1 January 2017 will include indexation in the calculation of the chargeable amount. The calculation of the CIL chargeable amount is defined by the CIL Regulations 2010 (as amended).
From 1 January 2020, the index is the RICS CIL Index published by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors. This annual index figure will be published on or around 1 November each year and will apply from 1 January of the following year. The latest RICS CIL Index figure is available on the RICS website.
Before 2020, the index figure is the figure for 1 November for the preceding calendar year in the national All-in Tender Price Index published by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors.

Calculation of the chargeable amount
The calculation of the CIL chargeable amount is set out in Schedule 1 of the Community Infrastructure Levy Regulations 2010 (as amended). CIL is calculated by multiplying the net increase in gross internal floor area (sqm) by the relevant CIL rate (£/sqm), plus any indexing for inflation/deflation (between the year in which planning permission was granted and the year in which the charging schedule took effect).
R x A x IP
Ic
Where:
- R is the CIL rate in £/sqm
- A is the net increase in gross internal floor area (sqm)
- Ip is the All-in Price Index for the year in which planning permission was granted
- Ic is the All-in Price Index for the year in which te charging schedule started operation
