  • Dumfries and Galloway has only provided figures from 1996-97 onwards

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.
  • 2005-06 onwards - Figures include additional amounts in respect of reduced Second Home/Long Term Empty property discounts
