Measurement is unconsolidated and is on an accruals basis.
Changes to accounting policies have affected the figures as follows:
- Provisional tax estimation is included in company tax and other personal tax revenue in the June 2006 and subsequent years. Before June 2006, provisional tax was not estimated at the time the income was earned, but was instead recognised at the due date. The accounting change had the effect of a bring-forward of some tax revenue into 2006.
- Bad debt write-offs have been reported separately as an expense and are no longer netted against tax revenue from the June 2008 year onwards.
