(1) Consumers' expenditure measures expenditure by households and private non-profit making bodies resident in a region.
(2) The introduction of the community charge in April 1989 in Scotland (and in April 1990 in England and Wales) introduced a discontinuity in the estimates of consumers' expenditure as community charge, and subsequently council tax payments are not included in consumers' expenditure.
