Business Rates

TDX business rates analytics helps strategically manage and plan the collection of business rates. It provides tools for workflow management, inspection prioritisation, and mobile workflow. Sophisticated AI analytics processes are applied across a large set of datasets to intelligently predict properties that are likely to be misclassified, this leads to an increase in the accuracy of information on the occupiers of properties and helps to identify uncollected rates revenue.

Business rates provide more than half of Belfast City Council’s annual revenue which is used to fund services, from bin collections to leisure facilities. The timely and accurate collection of rates income, as well as the maintenance of an up-to-date register of businesses in the city, can be challenging.

Project Overview

TDX business rates analytics helps strategically manage and plan the collection of business rates. It provides tools for workflow management, inspection prioritisation, and mobile workflow. Sophisticated AI analytics processes are applied across a large set of datasets to intelligently predict properties that are likely to be misclassified, this leads to an increase in the accuracy of information on the occupiers of properties and helps to identify uncollected rates revenue.

Data Import

The data import module is a back-end system that enables the import of data from diverse data sources into the business rates analytics. It includes data cleaning and matching functions which allow different input datasets to be mapped to a standardised format (or schema) which powers the underlying application and analytics. The system supports both automated and manual data imports, from either APIs or file uploads.
