Dear Mr Ball

Thank you for your request regarding commercial property not currently
receiving small business rates relief.

I am afraid that Kent County Council does not hold this information. In
Kent, the 12 district councils and Medway Council, a unitary authority,
are responsible for providing business rates relief, so you will need to
contact them for this information. Please see the following links for
information about Council services in Kent and a list of District
Councils.

with legislation, please ask for a review by following our complaints
process; details can be found at this link

If you still remain dissatisfied following an internal review, you can

Freedom of Information Act 2000. Details of what you need to do, should

The text of the request clearly refers to district council functions yet has been sent to a non district council.

To get the best from FOI requests it is best to do a little homework first to check that requests are being sent to the correct public authority.
