(2) 2005-06 onwards - Percentages received include additional amounts in respect of reduced Second Home/Long Term Empty property discounts.

(3) These councils have reported their collection rates on a "line by line" accounting basis. Earlier statistical collections did not ask councils for information on the accounting basis used.
