The total amount of uncollected council tax in Havering between 2023-2024 is approximately £6.68 million, outstanding from over 9,500 individual cases of non-payment.
Since 2019-2020, Havering Council's outstanding tax balance has risen, illustrating a growing concern around council tax collection, particularly evident in nearly doubled figures in 2022-2023.
Havering Council has managed to collect 96% of the council tax due in the current financial year, ranking among the top ten collection rates in London.
The spokesperson indicated that various reasons contribute to non-payment, stressing the importance of balancing assistance for struggling residents with the obligation to recover owed debts.
