Purpose

To approve National Non-Domestic Rates and
Council Tax write offs

Content

RESOLVED
 
KEY DECISION
 

That
the Executive reviewed and approved the proposed write-off of Non
Domestic Rates and Council Tax outstanding debts as summarised in
Appendix A.

 
 

Reason for Recommendation –The Council’s
Constitution (Financial Procedure Rules) requires the approval of
Executive to write off debt in excess of £25,000. It is
considered that this debt cannot be recovered.

 

Alternative Option Considered – The alternative option
would be to periodically review and pursue the debt.  However, following the action already undertaken
and the status of the businesses (administration, liquidation or
dissolved), it is considered irrecoverable at this time and would
not be economical to continue to pursue.
