Source: Information supplied by Councils to the Scottish Government on the statistical return Council Tax and Community Charge Receipts ( CTRR)
(1) All figures are NET of discounts (eg single persons discount), exemptions and surcharges (although not all councils can exclude surcharges - see below). The figures exclude Council Tax Benefit and Water and Sewerage Charges. The figures are BEFORE any amounts written off for bad or doubtful debt. They 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) Surcharges: Councils are asked to exclude surcharges, although this is not always possible. For years prior to 1996-97, surcharges have been included for Aberdeenshire, Argyll and Bute, East Lothian, East Renfrewshire, Eilean Siar, Fife, North Ayrshire, Renfrewshire, Scottish Borders and Shetland Islands.
(5) 2005-06 onwards - Figures include additional amounts in respect of reduced Second Home/Long Term Empty property discounts
