2 A notional capital charge is included as part of running cost calculations for the building, as indicated in the Voted Supply Estimate. Capital charging was introduced from 1 April 1998. Departments pay capital charges, on the property they hold, from running cost provision. Departments record on the Vote matching receipts outside running costs classified as negative expenditure. Capital charge calculations are revised each year and based on the value of the property.
3 Figure represents estimated annual running costs for Steel House. No charge was made to CCTA in 1998–99 as agreed with the property holder.
