Meeting: 22/07/2010 - Cabinet (Item 97)
Discretionary Rate Relief for Non Profit Making Organisations
Minutes:
The Director of Finance reported upon an application for discretionary rate relief received from Eight4Sport, a registered Community Interest Company, which did not fully meet the approved criteria for relief to certain non-profit making voluntary or sporting organisations, and was therefore referred to Cabinet for consideration.
Resolved: That
(1) (a) the application for relief be declined, it being noted that the application site is on land designated for employment purposes;
(b) the decision be without prejudice to any review of the Discretionary Rate relief process and that the decision be reviewed on conclusion of that review;
(2) the Discretionary Rate Relief policy be reviewed in order that any changes can take effect from 1 April 2012; and
(3) until the review is concluded, future applications from CICs or social welfare companies be submitted to Cabinet for consideration on a case by case basis.
