I am writing to request information related to the collection of council tax debts via the use of Liability Orders (or Summary Warrants if in Scotland) and related enforcement action.

1. How many Court Summons (or Summary Warrants if in Scotland) did your organisation issue for debts relating to Council Tax payments?
Court summonses*
a) 2020/2021: 4902
b) 2021/2022: 7482
*The data as above shows the number of summonses issued to individual Council Tax Payers. In the case of Council Tax accounts where there are multiple liable parties, the figures count summonses sent to each liable party.

Liability Orders*
a) 2020/2021: 2423
b) 2021/2022: 2784
*The data as above shows the number of Liability Orders per Council Tax account. In the case of accounts with multiple debts the record is counted once.

3. How much total revenue did your organization collect as a result of Bailiffs (or Sheriffs if in Scotland) enforcement action for debts relating to Council Tax payments?
a) 2020/2021: £215,439.75
