FOI Request - Vacant Rates Relief

Request 101003269691

1. Due to the delegation of vacant rates relief regulations to local authorities I am writing to ask for a copy of your own Authority’s policy and allowances for vacant rates relief and if there is any variation in relation to the 2022 regulations that were in place?

1. Moray Council has published information on its website regarding the local authority policy on empty property relief. All the necessary information can be found on the below webpage. This information is therefore exempt under section 25 of the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002, information otherwise accessible. For ease of reference please find a link to the web page here:
