Non Domestic Rates

a specialised service driving faster, fairer resolutions

We recognise that prompt and effective collection of Non Domestic Rates (NDR) and Business Improvement District Levies (BID) is vital to the consistent and ongoing provision of local services by authorities.

Given the challenging economy, we have created a dedicated and specialist NDR team.

Why work with CDER?

We operate our tailored, optimised NDR processes under the 2014 Taking Control of Goods Regulations.

Each client works with our team to agree objectives and key performance indicators. 24/7 access and support is available via our Client Portal to manage cases, view performance, and review Management Intelligence reports.

Fair

We carry out extensive company searches to establish the ability to pay and trading history. We aim to resolve cases as early as possible, without endangering ongoing trading.

Effective

We work to engage the business owner during the compliance stage wherever possible. If a case should move to enforcement, our specialist NDR enforcement team will visit the premises within 24 hours, ensuring swift and effective resolution.

Responsive

Our specialist Local Government Revenue team is available 7 days a week. Customers can also self-serve 24/7 via our online Customer Portal and contact us using webchat, email or SMS.

Secure

We uphold the highest standards of data security, which are accredited through ISO/IEC 27001:2013, Cyber Essential Plus, and PCI DSS.

CDER debt collection

“Since appointing CDER Group as our Enforcement Agent contractor, we have not experienced any issues regarding their service delivery or performance and cannot recall any instances where their service has been disrupted by technical, operational, or service issues”

Alice Bedford

Technical Manager, Plymouth City Council

"CDER Group has worked with Calderdale Council since 2003, providing Enforcement Agent Services. Over the years, they have delivered a reliable service and maintained steady collections. Complaints are rare, and on many occasions, our Officers have shared positive feedback on the successful resolution of challenging cases they were referred."

Robin Miles

Council Tax Manager, Calderdale Council

"Blackpool Borough Council have used CDER Group since June 2000 to help collect unpaid Council Tax and Business Rates. Their commitment to high quality services gave us the confidence to appoint them to support the Shared Revenues Service with Fylde Borough Council in 2016. We have found CDER flexible in their approach and mindful of the importance of safeguarding the public image of the Councils."

Graeme Ruse

Principal Revenues Manager, Blackpool & Fylde Shared Revenues Service

The CDER Group can further support local authorities with a complete portfolio of collections services, including Council Tax, CRAR and Sundry debt.
