Minutes:

The Chief Finance Officer introduced the quarterly performance report for the period 1 April to 30 June 2013 in respect of the debt management function carried out by the Revenues and Benefits Service within Elevate East London, together with details of the debts written-off as uncollectable during the period. 

 

The Chief Finance Officer advised that performance against income collection targets was higher in four of the five main areas and that steps had been agreed which would result in improvements in the underperforming area of National Non-Domestic Rate (NNDR) collection.

 

Cabinet resolved:

 

(i)  To note the performance of the debt management function carried out by the Revenues and Benefits service operated by Elevate East London, including the performance of bailiffs; and

 

(ii)  To note the debt write-offs for the first quarter of 2013/14 and that a number of the debts would be publicised in accordance with the policy agreed by Cabinet (Minute 52, 18 October 2011).
