Request

Dear I previously sent this request in 2017 and was provided with information up to 2016 which was appreciated. I wish to make an updated request as follows: Can you confirm the number of student occupied properties exempt from paying council tax for the following years and also provide the monetary value of these exemptions for each year. 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 2023. I understand that student HMOS are usually classified as N exemptions and halls of residence as class M exemptions for the purposes of council tax as per previous successful requests.
