Minutes:
The Board considered a report of the Strategic Director, Enterprise,
Community and Resources, on an application for discretionary non-domestic rate
relief.
The Board was advised that, under Section 47 of the Local Government
Finance Act 1988, the Council was able to grant discretionary rate relief to
any business rate payer. Since 1 April 2017, the Council had been responsible
for meeting the full cost of all mandatory and discretionary rate relief
granted, as part of the Liverpool City Region 100% Business Rates Retention
Pilot Scheme.
The report set out the details of three applications which had been
received from organisations that were registered as charities.
RESOLVED: That
1) the
request for 15% discretionary rate relief from Stick ’n’ Step for the period 22
April 2017 to 31 March 2019 be approved;
2) the
request for 15% discretionary rate relief from Halton District Citizens Advice
Bureau Service for the period 12 June
2017 to 31 March 2019 be approved; and
3) the request for 15% discretionary rate relief from Community Integrated Care Ltd for the period 1 November 2016 to 31 March 2019, be rejected on the basis that the organisation operates nationally.
