    Council Tax

    Requested Mon 18 March 2019
    Responded  Wed 27 March 2019

    Please can I request the following information under the Freedom of Information Act:

    1a) In £, the total amount of Council Tax which was unpaid, by municipal year from 2012/13 and including any arrears in 2018/19 to date);

    1b) The total amount of Council Tax, in £, which was owed but never paid by Universal Credit claimants since 2012/13 (broken down by municipal year and including any arrears in 2018/19 to date);

    1c) The number of households in receipt of Universal Credit which are currently in arrears on their Council Tax;

    2) Since the national introduction of Universal Credit from 2013 onwards, has your authority had to reduce the number of housing officers dealing with benefits queries because of a reduction in government funding? If so, please provide figures for government funding (in £) and staffing numbers (in Full Time Equivalents) before and after these reductions.

    If my request cannot be met within cost limits, please can you provide me with advice on how I may refine my request,
