Dear Mr Roberts

Thank you for your Freedom of Information requests, which were received by
both South Oxfordshire District Council and Vale of White Horse District
Council, logged under FOI 21/99 South and 21/80 Vale. Please note that
the two councils operate as a shared service hence this joint response.

Under Section 1 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (the 2000 Act) you
are entitled to be informed in writing whether the council holds the
information specified in your request and, if that is the case, to have
that information communicated to you unless any of the statutory
exemptions apply.  I have considered your request and can confirm that
although we do hold the information asked, I believe it would be a breach
of data protection if all information requested within your email was
released to you.

You have expressed a requirement to have a copy of the information that
the council was required to submit under The Non-Domestic Rating
(Compilation and Alteration of Lists) (England) Regulations 2020 by 15th
January 2021.  The information specified in the regulations is required to
be sent to the VOA and therefore not all the data is available to the
public.

However the councils publish a list of all liabilities for business rates
on the business rates freedom of information page on its website below
striped of personal data which may be of use to you.

[1]Business Rates Freedom of Information requests - Vale of White Horse
District Council (whitehorsedc.gov.uk)

[2]Business Rates Freedom of Information requests - South Oxfordshire
District Council (southoxon.gov.uk)

The list is updated every quarter.

Please treat this as the councils’ formal response under the 2000 Act.  If
you are not satisfied with the decision I have made in response to your
request, you can make a request for an internal review by emailing
[3][email address] and [4][Vale of White Horse District Council request email]  within 40 working
days from the date we issued our response. If you remain dissatisfied
after following that procedure, you have the right under Section 50 of the
2000 Act to complain to the Information Commissioner if you feel the
council has not dealt with your request properly. You can contact the
Commissioner at Wycliffe House, Water Lane, Wilmslow, Cheshire SK9 5AF
(telephone number: 01625 545745). You can also find further information at
[5]www.ico.org.uk.
