- properties receiving charitable relief (mandatory and/or discretionary) (column M and/or Q)
- properties receiving small business rate relief (Column N)
- empty properties (Column D)
- Column L shows if they are exempt from paying empty rates
- properties receiving an other section 47 reliefs (Column P)
* The ratepayers name and will only be shown for companies and other organisations. If the ratepayer is a person (for example, partners or sole traders) the ratepayer's name will not be shown.

Limitations on Data
- ratepayers names are only provided for Limited Companies and Government Bodies and not for individuals (for example, sole traders, partnerships)
- data protection prevents the publication of names and addresses
- the ratepayer is the person liable to pay the charge. In many cases this is a leaseholder and not an owner. It's not possible to identify the owners from our records
- account references are not included as these are personal to the account
- details of individuals or businesses run from a residential address are not included
- we can't vouch for the ongoing accuracy of the data as information is being constantly updated
- the information published is subject to the same screening process as information provided in respect of an information request. And therefore personal information has not been included in these datasets
