It includes all transactions including payments, write-offs, arrears, interest charges for the year.

This series was created by:
- Finance (AS-0108) from 01/01/1993
- Treasury II (AS-0027) in the period 01/01/1989 to 31/12/1992
- City Treasury Department I (AS-0012) in the period 01/01/1972 to 31/12/1988.

It consists of rate film microfilm - a computer output of microfilm produced from a tape of transactions recorded in the Rate File for the year. It includes all transactions including payments, write-offs, arrears, interest charges for the year.
At the end of the year the Rate file is closed off and a tape of all transactions (payments, write-offs, arrears, interest charges etc) recorded in the file for the year is produced. From this two microfilms were made: EDP Section held one as a security copy, the other was used as the main reference for non-current rates transactions queries by the Rates Section.

The entries are in assessment number order (alphabetical by street). For each entry the following information is given (mostly in codes):

- assessment number
- property
- value (UCV)
- codes for items such as S160 certificates, installments, interest charges, 139A letters etc
- rates due and payments
- arrears and payments
- interest charges and payments
- pensioner remissions
- credits (if any)

The entries include reference to the date of payments and the batch number and thus provide access to the batches of cash receipts.

COM copies of the Rate file were made annually since the Rates Section's operations were computerised in 1972. The series ended on 5 February 1993.
