Each year, over £60 million is claimed fraudulently through Single Person Council Tax Discount across the UK. Experian’s solution has been put together with councils to find cases where Council Tax discounts may be being claimed fraudulently or in error. It returns the results by priority risk category, meaning you can investigate the most likely cases first to save money, use your resources as effectively as possible, increase fraud detection and maximise council tax revenue.
