1. In accordance with the Freedom of Information Act 2000, and subject to section 40(2) on personal data, could you provide me with the following current business rates account data for your local authority. This request is only in respect of businesses that are deemed to be occupied for business rates purposes. Do not provide any information is respect of properties that are considered to be empty or unoccupied for business rates purposes.

• Property Description
• Billing or Correspondence address
• Liability Start Date
• Current entitlement to small business rate relief - Y/N
• Start date of any current entitlement to small business rate relief

We publish our Business Rates information, and update this on a regular basis. Therefore we are refusing this request under Section 21 and 22 of the Freedom of Information Act. This information can be found on the following page under the Business Rates category and we would ask you to bookmark this page for future reference if you find it of interest; http://www.wokingham.gov.uk/council-and-meetings/open-data/datasets-and-open-data

The public interest test has been considered and as the information is updated periodically, and resource is better utilised elsewhere within the authority, it is not appropriate to create the dataset outside of the usual scheduled slot.
