Dear Mr Garvin

FoI 19376 - Kirklees Borough Council's Council Tax Valuation List

I am writing in response to your request dated 14 March 2019.  This has
been dealt with under the Freedom of Information Act 2000.

You asked for the following information:

Please provide under the FOIA, the Kirklees Borough Council's Council Tax
Valuation List as first published April 1993 for the postcodes WF16 0BQ
and WF16 0BH.

This request is made after advise from the Valuation Office Agency who
state that Kirklees Council would be the source of this data, and the
Valuation Tribunal.

The Council’s response is set out below:

The Council does hold the requested information but considers this is
exempt under Section 21 of the Freedom of Information Act, because the
information is reasonably accessible to you by other means, because it is
already in the public domain.

Section 21 of the Act provides that:

(1) Information which is reasonably accessible to the applicant otherwise
than under section 1 is exempt information.

(2) For the purposes of subsection (1)—

(a) information may be reasonably accessible to the applicant even though
it is accessible only on payment, and

(b) information is to be taken to be reasonably accessible to the
applicant if it is information which the public authority or any other
person is obliged by or under any enactment to communicate (otherwise than
by making the information available for inspection) to members of the
public on request, whether free of charge or on payment.

(3) For the purposes of subsection (1), information which is held by a
public authority and does not fall within subsection (2)(b) is not to be
regarded as reasonably accessible to the applicant merely because the
information is available from the public authority itself on request,
unless the information is made available in accordance with the
authority’s publication scheme and any payment required is specified in,
or determined in accordance with, the scheme.

The VOA is the keeper of the list and the information requested is
available on the Gov.uk websites for all postcodes, and therefore
addresses, here: [1]https://www.gov.uk/council-tax-bands along with
information as to when a change is made.

If you are not content with the handling of your request, you have the
right to ask for an internal review.  Requests for internal reviews should
be submitted within 2 months of the date of receipt of the response to
your original request and should be addressed to the Monitoring Officer,
1^st Floor, Civic Centre 3, Market Street, Huddersfield HD1 2EY. 
Alternatively, you can send an email to:
[2][email address]. 

Please remember to quote the reference number above in any future
communications.

If you are not content with the outcome of any review you have the right
under section 50 of the 2000 Act to apply to the Information Commissioner
for a decision as to whether your request for information has been dealt
with in accordance with the requirements of the Act.  The Information
Commissioner’s website is at [3]www.ico.org.uk and gives more information
about the role and duties of the Commissioner.  The Information
Commissioner can be contacted at: Information Commissioner’s Office,
Wycliffe House, Water Lane, Wilmslow, Cheshire, SK9 5AF.

Yours sincerely

Dear Mr Garvin

FoI 19376 - Kirklees Borough Council's Council Tax Valuation List

I am writing in response to your email of 21 March 2019, in which you
queried the Council’s response sent earlier today.

I have put your query back to the managers in our Exchequer & Welfare
Service and they have advised that the Council does not hold any further
information; that the Valuation Office deals with all appeals and that you
need appeal to the VOA – the link is: 
[1]https://www.gov.uk/contact-voa?backtoPag...

If you are unhappy with the Council’s handling of your request may I refer
you to the process of appeal set out in our original response.

Yours sincerely
