Business Rates Credit
Dear Swindon Borough Council,
I would like to obtain the information, from the Council, relating
to unclaimed business rate credit balances.
I am aware that all Billing Authorities hold on account sums of
money that are due to be returned to ratepayers and for a variety
of reasons have not been repaid and maybe considered untraceable by
the Council.
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:
A. The name of each business in respect of which non-domestic rate
credit balances remain payable
B. The value of overpayment in each case which remains unclaimed
C. The years(s) in which overpayment was made and
D. The hereditament address
E. The name of each business in respect of which non-domestic rate
credit balances has been written back on to the ndr account
F. The value of write back in each case which remains unclaimed
G. The years(s) in which write back was made (if available) and
H. The hereditament address that the write back relates to
I look forward to hearing from you.
Yours faithfully,
Richard Scott

Dear Mr Scott,
Thank you for your request below to Swindon Borough Council for
information under the Freedom of Information Act. I have prepared the
data for you; it is contained in the attached spreadsheet. Unfortunately,
our IT system does not hold the year in which the overpayment was made, so
I have included the account end date for you instead, to give you an
indication of the age and status of the account. This information is not
available for the worksheet containing the historic credits since it came
from a legacy system.
Yours sincerely,
Martin Newman
