Notes
- Tax that landfill operators reported as payable on their returns for each quarter, rounded to the nearest £100,000. Operators can claim 90% of their contributions to the Scottish Landfill Communities Fund as tax credits, up to 5.6% of their Scottish Landfill Tax liability.
- The figures count all valid returns received to date; Revenue Scotland marks recent quarters provisional (P) until they are finalised (F).
