      Response

      Please see below our response to your Freedom of Information request. We are unable to split off credits for closed/dormant accounts in any of the 4 requested, they will be made up of the following:

      Closed Accounts, Overpayments, Discounts/exemptions granted, Band Reductions, Deletion of properties, Council Tax Reduction granted.

      We are also unable to give the totals by each year they are actually for, as council tax is billed on a multi-year basis. Therefore any balances or credits owing from a previous year are brought forward to the next, so for 1 and 2 we cannot give a true picture by year.

      1. £662,857.18

      2. £12,830.88

      3a. £622,000.32

      3b. £614,964.77

      3c. £562,478.48

      3d. £756,063.05

      4a. £7,991.24

      4b. £8,921.86
