Business rates credits and write-ons

The Information Commissioners Office (ICO) published information highlighting the risks of releasing details of business rates credit balances. In particular they highlight the potential for fraud to be committed using this information. Therefore, we no longer publish these credit/write-on balances on our website or release them in response to an FOI request.
