NNDR Accounts in Credit: Local Business Tax Data for 2017/2018

2017/2018 financial year data on National Non-Domestic Rates (NNDR) accounts that are in credit, likely indicating overpayments or rebates owed to businesses. The dataset originates from Barrow Borough Council and is published under an open government license. Columns suggest it contains tabular records of business tax accounts, but specific fields are not detailed in the metadata.

• Analyzing trends in commercial property tax accounts for a specific council area (inferred from domain, verify after download)
• Reconciling council finance records for the 2017/2018 fiscal year (inferred from domain, verify after download)

Strengths

• Published under the Open Government Licence (OGL-UK-3.0), permitting reuse

• Available in a machine-readable CSV format

Limitations

• Metadata is minimal; actual content requires verification after download
• Key details like row count, file size, and column definitions are not provided
• The 'last updated' date of 2026-07-08 is inconsistent with the dataset's 2017/2018 content, suggesting a metadata refresh rather than a data update
