Request

I hereby request a list of unclaimed council tax credit balances. Please note I am not asking for business rates credits.
Please can this information be provided to me in an Excel Spreadsheet, including the following fields:

• Ratepayer name
• Property Address
• Billing Authority Reference
• Amount of credit
• The period or financial year of the credit

Response

As council tax is primarily individuals we cant identify if any of these that don’t relate to individuals.

Also Information in respect of credit balances is considered exempt under section 31(1)(a) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (prevention or detection of crime) as its disclosure could result in fraudulent refund claims being made to the Council for these credit balances.
