3. The latest Public Sector Finances dataset is available from http://www.ons.gov.uk/ons/taxonomy/index.html?nscl=Public+Sector+Finance. As this dataset is updated monthly and subject to minor revision, figures in future data releases may differ from those used in this report.

6. All figures in GERS are in market prices (i.e. nominal terms) and in most tables figures are presented as rounded to the nearest £ million. Components of tables may not therefore sum exactly to the published totals.
7. In the UK National Accounts, local authority user charges are classified as negative expenditures and therefore do not enter the revenue calculations in GERS.

9. The net cash outlay incurred as part of the UK Government's financial sector interventions represents the difference between the price paid for the equity in institutions such as RBS and Lloyds Banking Group, and the market price on the day of purchase. This outlay was worth £6.1 billion in 2008-09 and £6.4 billion in 2009-10. The additional cash outlay to finance the acquisition of equity included a further £30.8 billion in 2008-09 and £23 billion in 2009-10 (UK Budget 2010). This enters the UK Central Government's Net Cash Requirement. Only the net outlay is included in UK Public Sector Net Borrowing.

18. It should be noted that the figures provided by Kemp and Stephen are on a calendar year basis. The estimates for financial years are calculated by first estimating the quarterly proportions using a cubic spline interpolation. These are applied to the quarterly revenue data, and summed to form the financial year estimates.

27. In this analysis, an estimate of total expenditure from PESA has been calculated as the sum of all identifiable expenditure plus a proportion of non-identifiable expenditure/outside UK expenditures using the default apportionments noted in table B1 above. This figure therefore excludes all amendments documented in this annex.
