1. The Police and Fire Reform (Scotland) Act 2012 created Police Scotland and Fire Scotland, which replaced the former Police and Fire Boards. These new bodies are classified as Central Government, rather than Local Government. As it is not possible to remove income and expenditure from all Police/Fire Boards from previous returns, figures for All services and Central Services (due to police and fire board expenditure in this category) from 2013-14 onwards are not strictly comparable with previous years.
2. Regional Transport Partnerships expenditure is apportioned to councils by population (NRS 2013 mid-year population estimates).
3. Expenditure on council tax and non-domestic valuation and registration of electors is apportioned to councils using the amount that the Valuation Joint Boards requisition from them.
