Purpose:

Content: RESOLVED:   That £1,559,693.98 in respect of individual irrecoverable Non-domestic Rates debt, as set out in the report, be written off.   Reasons for decision   The Cabinet Member for Finance & Transformation introduced a report, with a recommendation which Cabinet agreed, to write-off non-domestic rate debt which was deemed as having no possibility of recovery due to the circumstances of the cases concerned. It was noted that the Council’s contribution was minimal with most of the debt to be written-off borne by the Government and GLA.   Alternative options considered and rejected   None.   Relevant Select Committee Corporate Resources & Infrastructure Expiry date for any scrutiny call-in / date decision can be implemented (if no call-in) Cabinet’s decisions on this matter can be called in by a majority of the select committee by 5pm, Friday 4 July 2025. If not called-in by then, Cabinet’s decisions can then be implemented. Officer(s) to action Tiffany Boreham Directorate Finance Classification Private - Whilst the Cabinet's decisions above are always made public, the officer report relating to this matter is not because it was considered in the private part of the meeting and contained information relating to the financial or business affairs of any particular person (including the Authority holding that information) and the public interest in withholding the information outweighed the public interest in disclosing it in accordance with Section 100(A) and paragraph 3 of Part 1 of Schedule 12 (A) to the Local Government Act 1972 (as amended).  

Date of Decision: June 26, 2025
