Minutes:
The Committee heard from the Revenues Manager regarding debts which were irrecoverable. It was explained that every effort was made to ensure that all amounts due to the council were rigorously pursued. At the end of each financial year a provision was set aside for those debts that were proving difficult to recover. Where debts were found to be irrecoverable, it was the role of the Corporate Policy and Resources Committee to consider them for write off.
Members sought further details as to how amounts outstanding were pursued with the Revenues Manager explaining the process in different circumstances.
Having been moved, seconded and voted upon, it was unanimously
RESOLVED that it be approved to:
a) write off arrears of National Non Domestic rates to the value of £67,247.66;
b) write off arrears of Housing Benefit Overpayments to the value of £49,564.86;
c) write off arrears of Council Tax to the value of £8,450.12
