Detection and prevention of fraud
We will not accept deliberate manipulation and fraud. Any business or person caught falsifying their records to gain relief money will face prosecution and any funding issued will be subject to claw back, as may any relief paid in error.
By submitting an application you consent to us checking the information you provide with third parties and other council departments in order to detect and prevent fraud.
We have a duty to inform the Valuation Office Agency of any changes that would affect business rates and council tax records.
The information I provide in this application, or provide later in support of this application, is true and accurate to the best of my knowledge. I understand that if it is later found that I have intentionally, or accidently provided information which is inaccurate or untrue, I may have legal action taken against me to recover any relief awarded as a result of this application.
