Business Rates Account Credits and Write Ons - Hastings

Requested Mon 22 May 2023
Responded Thu 15 June 2023

I wish to request access to information below.

Information Required - Accrued NNDR National Non Domestic Rates credit balances and write ons (that is, credits that you have been unable to trace recipients for and have therefore wrote into your accounts, leaving an outward appearance of a zero balance).

We request a breakdown of credit balances accrued remaining unclaimed since your earliest records, for the amounts owing to all incorporated companies or public bodies (that is, not individuals/private individuals) within any local authorities' billing area, including:

1. The name of each business in respect of which Non Domestic Rate credit balances remain payable.

2. The value of overpayment in each case with remains unclaimed.

3. The years(s) in which the overpayment was made.

4. The hereditament address.

5. Account Number or billing hereditament reference.

Please note that no personal data (as defined under the Data Protection Act 1988) is requested and any personal data contained within your files concerning Non Domestic Rates is exempt from this request (Section 40).

Response

Please see attached our response to your Freedom of Information request, on two reports.

Please note that the Property Reference Number relates to the property, not the account number for the customer. This reference is available on the internet, for example the gov.uk website regarding a property's rateable value.

The figure in the 'outstanding debt' column is the credit amount.

We do not have a report with an option to pick up credits, so we have selected accounts with a debt less than zero to pick up all accounts in credit.
