Benefits (user savings, revenue and grants received by private sector providers) are entered as positive numbers; costs (user charges, costs incurred by private sector
providers, and developer contributions) as negative numbers - i.e. the reverse of the Public Accounts Table. All entries are discounted present values in 2002 prices

* Businesses are able to reclaim indirect taxes (excluding fuel duty) and the figures entered are therefore net of these
