## Notice

The Exchequer Services department of Trafford Council are responsible for the collection and the management of local taxes and revenues such as Council Tax, Business Rates, BID (Business Improvement District), Housing Benefit Overpayments and Adult Social Care charges. The department is also responsible for Adult Social Care financial assessments and the assessment and administration of Housing Benefit and various Local Welfare Assistance and Discretionary Schemes. These responsibilities involve the generation of a large volume of paper bills / notifications / letters (280,000 issued in 2022/23) that are printed, folded, enveloped and issued promptly to our customers.
