About this Metric

High value means

Collection rates are improving.

Low value means

Collection rates are declining, which may indicate growing arrears.

For Councillors

Declining collection rates erode the tax base and create cash flow challenges.

For Residents

When neighbours don't pay their taxes, the shortfall may be made up through higher rates for everyone.
