Minutes:

The purpose of the report was to seek the approval of Cabinet for the writing off of council tax debt in excess of £5,000.

 

The Deputy Leader and Cabinet Member for Finance introduced the report.

 

The circumstances of the deceased individual were outlined to Cabinet, and that the outstanding amount of £7306.65 could not be recovered from an estate. This was because the contact details for a next of kin was not known.

 

The Deputy Leader did reassure however that if any information emerges regarding a residual estate, the Council would make a claim against this for the Council Tax liability.
