Council Tax
Labour-led authorities were the worst culprits, with seven of its councils in the top 10 worst offenders.
Lambeth Council in London has failed to collect a staggering £37.4million in council tax, closely followed by Hackney on £30.3million.
Southwark and Lewisham also in the capital have both missed out on £25million of council tax payments.
However, Tory-led Croydon Council topped the list, with a colossal £40.2million left uncollected, according to figures from The Chartered Institute of Public Finance and Accountancy.
Last year in Manchester one in 10 council tax bills went unpaid, depriving the city of £11million.
The grand total of unpaid council tax, dating back to when the levy was introduced nearly 20 years ago, is now £1.1billion.
