Block grant Domestic rate relief grant Rate support grant Block grant Domestic rate relief grant Rate support grant
1981–82 3.777 0.653 4.430 3.777 0.653 4.430
1982–83 3.774 0.665 4.439 3.519 0.620 4.139

1986–87 3.671 0.684 4.355 2.871 0.535 3.406

In 1981–82 and 1982–83 the amounts are final rate support grant payments. In 1983–84 to 1986–87 the amounts are grant entitlements based on the latest supplementary reports in each year.

The figures for 1979–80, 1980–81 are not comparable with those for the following years because the arrangements for paying rate support grant changed in 1981–82.

Notes:

(1) Rate support grant comprises block grant and domestic rate relief grant.

(2) Cash values converted to 1981–82 price levels using the GDP deflator.

(3) Figures may not add due to rounding.
