Source: Information supplied by Councils to Scottish Executive on the CTRR statistical return
(1) All figures are NET of discounts (eg single persons discount), exemptions and surcharges. The figures exclude Council Tax Benefit and Water and Sewerage Charges. They are before any amounts written off for bad or doubtful debt and reflect any correction to liabilities following billing.
(2) Up to and including 1995-96 the figures for amounts billed and collected include Council Water Charges
(3) Dumfries and Galloway has only provided figures from 1996-97 onwards
(4) 2005-06 and 2006-07 Percentages received include additional amounts in respect of reduced Second Home/Long Term Empty property discounts
(5) The calculation of West Lothian's pre-1996-97 figures is the subject of discussion with Civica and both parties are working to resolve the matter in time for the next set of returns
