The levying and collection of rates are matters for each individual local authority. As with all local charges, the invoicing and collection of due amounts is a matter for the local authority concerned to manage in the light of prevailing local circumstances and in accordance with normal accountancy procedures. Details, sourced from audited local authority Annual Financial Statements, in relation to the amount of commercial rates written off in years 2006 to 2011 (the latest year for which audited data is available), are set out in the table below.
