FOI request (FOIR-413572386)

Unclaimed credits

Requested Wed 06 April 2022
Responded  Wed 13 April 2022

This is a request for information, filed under the Freedom of Information Act 2000. We wish to obtain information, from the Council, relating to unclaimed credits for non-domestic ratepayers.

We therefore request a list of both credit balances and credit balance write ons accrued since your earliest records, for the amounts owing to all 'incorporated' companies within the authority's billing area, including:

1. The name of each ratepayer for which the credit or credit write on relates to.

2. The value of overpayment in each case.

3. The year(s) in which overpayment was made.

4. The hereditament address.

Please note that no personal data (as defined under the Data Protection Act 1998) is requested and any personal data contained within files concerning Non-Domestic Rates is exempted from this request.

Response

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

The figure in the column that says 'outstanding debt' is the credit amount. We don't have a report with an option to pick up credits, so we have to put in debt with less than zero to pick up all accounts in credit.
