FOI request (FOIR-506803663)

Unclaimed credits

Requested Tue 11 April 2023
Responded  Tue 02 May 2023

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 authorities 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.

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.
