A report detailing performance information in respect of council tax, business rates, council tax reduction and housing benefits.

Members noted the recent developments in respect of council tax, business rates, council tax reduction and housing benefits as detailed in the report of the Director of Finance and Transformation.

Collection rates for council tax and business rates were currently above target.   Despite expectations that the situation with rising energy payments and the general cost of living would have a detrimental impact on collection, the collection rates were ahead of the amount collected in the same period the previous year.
