To ask the Scottish Executive why charitable and voluntary organisations which qualify for exemption from water and waste water charges under the Water Charges Exemption Scheme have been sent invoices by Business Stream for nil amount water and waste water charges for 2008-09.
Answer
With the recent opening of the retail market to competition, billing of non-household customers is entirely an operational matter for retail services providers in this case Scottish Water’s retail subsidiary, Business Stream.
We understand, however, that nil rated bills are issued to customers who are exempt from paying for their water services. This is to maintain contact with these customers, encouraging them to advise the retail services provider should their circumstances, and therefore their eligibility for the scheme, change. We also understand that costs associated with billing these customers are minimal.
