Decision:
The Cabinet Member for Finance sought clarification on whether the applicant continued to reside within the Council’s district, which was confirmed by officers.
Further clarification was requested regarding the period of Council Tax liability, with the Cabinet Member noting that the arrears appeared to relate to the period prior to April 2024, specifically referencing the 2023/24 charge of £641.42.
The Cabinet Member also queried whether the applicant was currently able to meet ongoing Council Tax liabilities. The Lead officer confirmed that the applicant was in receipt of full Local Council Tax Support and had limited income, with no surplus available to address the outstanding debt.
The Cabinet Member noted the options available to the decision-maker under the report—namely the award of a full discount, partial discount, or no discount—and expressed thanks to officers for the clarity and completeness of the report, noting that the level of detail provided was appropriate while maintaining necessary confidentiality.
