Minutes:

The Committee heard from the Revenues Manager, regarding irrecoverable debts and seeking permission from the Committee for those debts to be written off.

 

Members were appreciative of the detail within the report and sought clarification on whether debts could be re-written, for example should a person move back into the district. This was confirmed to be the case.

 

Members praised the Revenues Manager and her team for their efforts in minimising the level of write-offs as far as possible, and, having been moved, seconded and voted upon it was unanimously

 

RESOLVED that the following write-offs be approved:

 

a)    arrears of Council Tax to the value of £24,074.68;  

 

b)    arrears of Housing Benefit Overpayments to the value of £31,832.07;  

 

c)    arrears of National Non-Domestic rates to the value of £253,632.52.
