All Council Tax accounts with a credit balance. I am aware that all Billing Authorities hold on accounts sums of money that are due to be returned to ratepayers and for a variety of reasons have not been repaid.

1. I therefore request a breakdown of credit balances accrued since your earliest records, for the amounts owing to all incorporated companies within the authorities billing area, including the following information:
• The name of each business in respect of which Council Tax credit balances remain payable. I understand you will not provide individuals names. Please note I am not asking for Business Rates but that of council tax accounts held by housing associations, property developers etc
• The value of overpayment in each case which remains unclaimed
• The years(s) in which overpayment is for
• The property address the credit relates to
• A write to address and write to company name if available
• Please state whether the account is a live/open account or a closed account; if closed the date it closed
• Please provide the most up to date and accurate information that you can, please confirm the date that the data was pulled from your system.
Please note I am requesting information of companies that hold residential property for example housing associations and develops etc.

Please see the attached spreadsheet.
As we are multi-year billing, credits are automatically carried forward from year to year.
The financial year shown on the spreadsheet is the year the account has been closed in so, credit sits on that financial year.
For credits against current financial year relating to closed accounts within 2024/25, are not necessarily unclaimed as yet. These could be in process of being claimed or, waiting a claim to be actioned.
