Hi Doreen
The Department for Constitutional Affairs still think that that
regulation does not override LGFA. Even the DWP who are over CSA agree
we have a point. I agree the sooner it is sorted the better hence the
pressure we are putting on DWP to get this meeting of legal minds in
Whitehall to come to some agreement or add a bit on the next available
law.
As soon as we have sorted it I will let you know or you can find out the
latest from the NAIM site

All
I think the sooner this area gets cleared up the better. I have advice
from our Council Tax Manager who says that with the demands from the CSA
they were advised by our Legal Team that they can disclose via The Child
Support (Information, Evidence and Disclosure) Regulations 1992.
Anyone any views on this?
Doreen

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?
