Where Does My Money Go?

Expenditure Data

There are now several detailed datasets on Government expenditure available for the UK. The most significant are Council £500 spending, the Departmental £25k spending and the Combined Online Information System (COINS).

COINS is the primary database used by HMT for recording and analysing spending. It has a pseudo-double-entry structure and is the book of "prime entry" for the budget (planning spending) and forecasted outturn (what was actually spent).

A large sample of the COINS data is publicly available at data.gov.uk. We have gathered a variety of useful information to help interpret the COINS data:

Income Data

The main package is:

Additional Data
