§ Mr. Wilsonasked the Secretary of State for Scotland what is the estimated income from non-domestic rates for each Scottish local authority in this financial year; and what level of uniform non-domestic rate poundage would produce the same total non-domestic rate income.
§ Mr. AncramThe information is as follows. The estimate is arrived at by multiplying the 1985–86 non-domestic rateable value figure for each authority by its rate poundage. The figures used are those in "Rating Review" published by the Chartered Institute of Public Finance and Accountancy (Scottish Branch) in August 1985. This estimate of rate income is overstated since relief on empty property, appeals and other factors will reduce the actual income received. On the same basis, a uniform rate poundage of 64.8p would produce the same total non-domestic rate income.
