Decision status: Recommendations Approved
Is Key decision?: No
Is subject to call in?: Yes
The Portfolio Holder for Resources and Performance or Cabinet will be asked to consider writing-off outstanding debts, as detailed in the exempt appendices.
RESOLVED:
That:
The write-off of the amounts detailed in the Exempt Appendices to Report No: CAB/WS/20/032, be approved, as follows:
1. Exempt Appendix 1: Business Rates totalling £65,255.58
2. Exempt Appendix 2: Sundry Debt totalling £16,619.46
The total amounts detailed in the decision are to be written-off. The detailed reasons for the decisions are included in Exempt Appendices 1 and 2 to Report No: CAB/WS/20/032.
The Council currently uses the services of the ARP Enforcement Agency to assist in the collection of business rates and also have online tracing facilities. It is not considered appropriate to pass the debt onto another agency. In the event that a written-off debt becomes recoverable, the amount will be written back on and enforcement procedures will be re-established.
