Request

For the financial years 2024/25, 2023/24, 2022/23, 2021/22 and 2020/21, respectively:
How much revenue was collected in council tax?
What was the % collection rate?
How much was unpaid and uncollected?
How many times were bailiffs instructed to collect up the council tax? 

Can I please clarify the following information in relation to this request?

For the questions above – I was asking how much council tax was collected and outstanding at the end of each financial year………which specifically relates to the amount of council tax charged in that year. 

And for the question - how many times were bailiffs instructed to collect up the council tax? 

I mean how many cases were sent to the Enforcement Agents for collection that specific year – from the number of unpaid accounts charged that specific year?
