1 Provisional.
2 Personal income is defined to be the income of the personal sector i.e. households, individuals living in hostels and other institutions, unincorporated businesses such as farms, the funds of pension and life assurance schemes, private trusts and all non-profit making bodies such as universities and charities.
3 Personal disposable income is defined as personal income less taxes on income, social security contributions, community charge and current transfers from personal income.
4 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 personal disposable income as community charge, and subsequently council tax payments are deducted from estimates of personal income.
