Purchase Card Transactions

Under the Code of Recommended Practice for Local Authorities on Data Transparency, councils are encouraged to publish all corporate purchase card transactions.We already publish details of all our relevant expenditure of more than £500 within our Payments to Suppliers dataset, and will continue to do so. However, in the spirit of the Code, the Council started publishing all purchase card transactions, regardless of value. The information will be published monthly.As with our payments to suppliers, we aim to be as transparent as we can, but in some cases we will need to respect information that could be seen as commercially sensitive or where the payment relates to vulnerable young people or adults. In these cases information is withheld as it is personal data. For further information about personal data, please see https://www.birmingham.gov.uk/foi.If you require further information about any of the payments, please contact [e-mail] setting out the details of the payment and what additional information you require. Such request will be handled under the Freedom of Information Act 2000, and the Council aims to be able to provide a response to your query within 20 working days.Data shown is from April 2021 onwards due to the data from pervious periods missing elements. Directorates may appear multiple times with different naming due to internal changes.Transaction Tax Description Abbreviations:AbbreviationExplanationVRStandard Rate VAT Expenditure (20%)VCVAT Requiring Authenticated VAT Receipt (20%)VZZero Rate VAT Expenditure (0%)VLLow Rate VAT Expenditure (5%)VFReduce VAT Rate (12.5%)VEExempt from VAT Expenditure

依据《地方当局数据透明度推荐实践守则》，各市政当局被鼓励公布所有企业采购卡交易信息。我们已在我方对供应商付款数据集中公布了所有相关支出超过500英镑的详细信息，并将继续这样做。然而，本着守则的精神，市政当局开始公布所有采购卡交易，无论交易金额大小。相关信息将按月公布。如同我们对供应商的付款，我们力求实现最大程度的透明度，但在某些情况下，我们仍需尊重可能被视为商业机密的信息，或与易受伤害的青少年或成年人相关的付款。在这些情况下，信息将被保留，因其属于个人数据。关于个人数据的更多信息，请参阅https://www.birmingham.gov.uk/foi。如需了解有关任何付款的更多信息，请致信[e-mail]，详细说明付款的详细信息及您需要获取的额外信息。此类请求将根据《2000年信息自由法》进行处理，市政当局的目标是在20个工作日内对您的查询提供答复。由于前期数据缺失部分元素，所示数据自2021年4月起。由于内部变动，各司局可能出现多次，名称各异。交易税描述及缩写说明：缩写解释：VR标准税率增值税支出（20%）VC需认证增值税收据的增值税支出（20%）VZ零税率增值税支出（0%）VLLow税率增值税支出（5%）VF降低税率支出（12.5%）VE免征增值税支出
