In line with the Council’s financial rules, the Executive will be presented with a quarterly report on Council debt write-offs
Received a report from the Corporate Director of Customer Services concerning the billing , collection and recovery of the vast majority of debts that fall due to be paid to the Council for chargeable services and statutory levies such as Council Tax and Business Rates.
The Executive must receive a quarterly report of the debts written off from the Income, Collection, Rents and Benefits Service areas and this report provides a summary of the value and type of debts written off as uncollectible for Quarter 1 of 2008/09 financial year (i.e. April to June 2008).
