The information requested is set out in the following table. The figures relate to the amount of commercial rates collected, as reported by local authorities in their individual audited financial statements; it should be noted that this income may include arrears collected in addition to current year rates income. The latest audited information that is available relates to the financial year 2012. As a matter of course, every local authority publishes its annual audited financial statement and a variety of related financial information on their individual websites.
As with all local charges, the invoicing and collection of due amounts is a matter for the local authority concerned to manage in light of prevailing circumstances and in accordance with normal accountancy procedures.
