Limitations on data

Limitations to what we publish:

  • ratepayer's names and correspondence addresses are only provided for Limited Companies and Government Bodies and not for individuals (e.g. sole traders and partnerships) - Data Protection prevents the publication of individual names
  • the ratepayer is the person liable to pay the charge - in many cases this is a leaseholder and not an owner - it's not possible to identify the owners from our records
  • account references are not included as these are personal to the account and are used to ensure that a ratepayer is actually the account holder when they contact us
  • data will be published in February, May, August and November each year
  • the correspondence address is the last known contact address on the Business Rates records

Business accounts in credit

We will no longer publish this information under Section 31 (1) (a) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000. The reason for this is that there is a public interest in ensuring that monies from the public purse, such as rebates on business rates accounts, are not fraudulently claimed and also a public interest in not making it easier for fraud to be committed.
