This document is part of a collection
Non-domestic rates (NDR) income returns collect data on the amount of non-domestic rates income raised each financial year.
There are four data collections in each financial year. These returns are used in the management of the non-domestic rates 'pool', including the calculation of the distributable amount of NDR included in the annual local government finance settlement.
They are also used for statistical purposes such as monitoring the amounts of NDR reliefs and for forecasting NDRI.
The four returns are:
- Provisional contributable amount (PCA): an initial estimate of the expected NDR income at the beginning of the financial year
- Mid-year estimate (MYE): an updated estimate of NDR income for the financial year, usually provided in October
- Notified: the final return collected from councils, provided after the end of the financial year with provisional outturn data
- Audited (Certified): Notified amounts are reviewed by external auditors. Audited returns are sent by auditors to the Scottish Government in the following financial year
