Notes:

(1) Total income shown does not always match total expenditure because the figures for levy and grant relate to different periods. In some cases a balance of levy income has been carried forward from a previous year.

(2) Some boards have not yet published their first Annual Report and others have not yet raised a levy.

(3) Total expenditure for some boards includes amounts earmarked for grants but not yet paid.

* These boards have differential rates of levy.
