I would like the information to be emailed to me in electronic form. 

Please confirm:-

1) total number of all assessments liable for non-domestic (business) rates in the local authority area during 2017/18 and 2018/19. 

2) in the financial years 2017/18 and 2018/19 please advise:-

If my request is denied in whole and/or in part, I ask that you justify all deletions by reference to specific exemptions of the Act. I will also expect you to release all non-exempt material. I reserve the right to appeal any decision to withhold information and/or to charge fees from which this request should be exempt.
