I'm not sure but I don't think it matters - the fact still remains the
IR only has powers to request information from the benefits system under
the Tax Credits Act 2002. LA's cannot disclose information from the
CTax system which is not compatible with the collection and
administration of council tax unless required by law. The IR will need
to quote a different enactment to allow the LA to disclose the requested
information.

Is the "single persons discount" normally recorded in the Council Tax
Benefit system? What about the "unoccupied building" discount?
