Department for Communities and Local Government revenue outturn (RO) returns

Each local authority receives funding from government grants directly to that authority, but also receives funding received through Surrey county and Surrey police authority.The definition of central Government grant used here is the sum of formula grant (revenue support grant and redistributed non-domestic rates), specific grants inside Aggregate External Finance (ie revenue grants paid for council's core services), Area Based Grant, and Police Grant.These figures do not reflect the income from council tax, nor do they illustrate the revenue spending power of local authorities.
