I thought this article may be of interest to all of us struggling to meet our increased council tax bill.
More than £130 million of unpaid council tax was written off by town halls last year, new figures have revealed.
Statistics collated by the Government show that many councils have given up chasing millions of pounds each.
According to a paper placed in the House of Commons Library on the first day of MPs' Easter recess, some £133,755,000 was written off by English councils in 2006/7.
The biggest write-off by a single authority was £6.4m by Haringey in London, according to the Department for Communities and Local Government.
Across regions, the East Midlands lost £7.9 million, the East of England £9.2 million, London £49.2 million, the North East £4.4 million, the North West £18.6 million, the South East £17.2 million, the South West £10.7 million, the West Midlands £6.7 million and Yorkshire and Humberside £9.9 million.
The figures include some amounts outstanding from previous years.
The TaxPayers' Alliance described the figures as "shocking".
"Councils spend a lot of money on tax collection, so it's unforgivable that they are still writing off so much in missed payments," a spokesman said.
"At a time when pensioners are being sent to jail for not being able to pay relatively small amounts, it is shocking that councils are happy to write off millions.
"Council tax is putting an unsustainable burden on ordinary families, and allowing this hole in the budget to continue adds to that burden."
I would be very interested to learn how much Dover DC have written off.Any Councillor prepared to step forward with an answer?
