I am writing to request the following information under the Freedom of Information Act 2000. All questions relate to properties billed by your organisation.
1. For each financial year from 2017/18 to 2024/25, how many non-domestic properties did your organisation bill using the Small Business Non-Domestic Rating Multiplier (i.e. rateable value under £51,000) that were eligible for Retail, Hospitality and Leisure (RHL) relief?
2. For each of those years, what was the total amount of business rates billed to these properties (i.e. those eligible for RHL relief and subject to the Small Business Multiplier)?
3. For each financial year from 2017/18 to 2024/25, how many non-domestic properties eligible for RHL relief and with a rateable value between £51,000 and £500,000 were billed using the Standard Non-Domestic Rating Multiplier?
