FOI request (FOIR-485409938)

Business rates

Requested Thu 09 February 2023
Responded  Tue 21 February 2023

This is a request for Business Rate information, to be dealt with in accordance with the Freedom of Information Act 2000.

We wish to obtain information relating to unclaimed business rate credit balances, including any write-ons (credits written down to nil).

Please provide me with a list of credit balances (and write-ons) currently held on business rate accounts within your Billing Authority, which remain due to be repaid to Limited Companies. It would be helpful if the following information could be provided in each case:

1. The name of the Company to whom any business rate credit balance (or write-on) remains payable.

2. The amount of the overpayment (write-on) which remains unclaimed.

3. The years(s) in which overpayment (write-on) was made.

4. The hereditament address.

Response

Please see attached our response to your Freedom of Information request.

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 those with a debt with less than zero to pick up all accounts in credit.
