Kent County Council

The complainant has requested information about any statutory notices under the Highways Act relating to a specific property. Kent County Council informed the complainant that it was charging a fee of £25.20 (including VAT) for the information in accordance with regulation 8 of the Environmental Information Regulations. The Council subsequently clarified to the Commissioner that the fee of £25.20 represented an actual charge of £21.00, and applied VAT of £4.20. The Commissioner finds that the actual charge of £21 is reasonable and in accordance with regulation 8. The Commissioner does not find any basis under the EIR upon which the Council can also apply VAT of £4.20. The Commissioner does not require the public authority to take any steps, but advises it to refer to her findings about VAT should the complainant wish to proceed with the request.

FOI 8: Complaint not upheld

Decision notice: fer0703951
