(Report number: CAB/WS/20/073)

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

Members noted that reliefs introduced by central Government in response to the COVID-19 pandemic (many of which provided 100% relief for 2020/21) had reduced the amount of debt to be collected and, in turn, had contributed to a slight improvement on the collection rate to-date.

Resolved:

That the write-off of the amounts detailed in the Exempt Appendix to Report Number CAB/WS/20/073, be approved, as follows:

1.           Exempt Appendix 1: Business Rates totalling £24,732.09.
