That the write-off of the amounts detailed in the Exempt Appendices to Report No: CAB/WS/20/050, be approved, as follows:

2.       Exempt Appendix 2: Housing Benefit

The Cabinet considered this report, which provided the collection data in respect of Council Tax and National Non-Domestic Rates (NNDR) and sought approval for the write-off of the amounts contained in the Exempt Appendices attached to the report.

Councillor Sarah Broughton, Portfolio Holder for Resources and Performance, drew relevant issues to the attention of the Cabinet, including the current performance of both council tax and business rates collection, as set out in Section 2 of the report. She reiterated that it was always frustrating to write-off any outstanding debts.

Members noted that reliefs introduced in response to the COVID-19 pandemic had reduced the amount to be collected by £1 million, which had affected the collection rate.
