FOI Request - Council Tax

Request 101002149159

Would it be possible to request a breakdown of the amount of unpaid / outstanding council tax from the year 2013/14 to present day per council tax year?

A breakdown for the same period for the amount of unpaid tax that has been written off per council tax year, also the number of prosecutions brought by you between 2013/14 and now for unpaid council tax.

Finally, can i get a break down of % of unpaid council tax per council tax band and type of property e.g. privately owned, social, etc.

The breakdown of outstanding Council Tax as at 31/03/19 for each of the requested financial years is as follows -
2013/14 - £831,789
2014/15 - £1,094,610
2015/16 - £905,326
2016/17 - £1,103,700
2017/18 - £1,161,690
2018/19 - £1,450,777

There has been no unpaid Council Tax written off during the timescale requested. There have been no prosecutions during that timescale.

In accordance with section 17 of the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002 please be advised that we are unable to provide the % of unpaid Council Tax by band or by type of property, as the system has no way of recording it or identifying different types of property.
