Explanatory Notes
The councillors’ record of claims has been prepared in accordance with the Local Government (Allowances and Expenses) (Scotland) Regulations 2007 and additional guidance notes as issued by the Scottish Government.
All expenses properly incurred by Councillors while carrying out their approved duties are reimbursed by the Council subject to predetermined limits.
‘Less OB Expenses Reimbursed’ refers to expenses reimbursed by outside bodies.
The record includes expenditure incurred directly by the Council on behalf of the Councillor, for example, travel expenses, information services and conference fees if organised by the council.
The following support functions are the responsibility of the Council, and are therefore not included in the above table of figures:
- Training and development by in-house providers, including seminars, at no additional cost.
- The provision of insurance in respect of Councillors, including employers and public liability cover.
- Accounting for tax and national insurance on the figures quoted above.
- Local Government Pension and Apprenticeship Levy Payments.
Other Allowances and Expenses include conference and training fees.
Reimbursement of expenses from Outside Bodies refers to the Orkney and Shetland Valuation Joint Board, HITRANS, COSLA and COHI.
The total cost of £439,884.21 for the financial year 2021 to 2022 represents an increase of £30,762.42 or 7.519% on the previous year.
