Lambeth Council
London borough (E09000022)
Spending in 2025/26
Records held for 2018/19 to 2025/26, of which 2 complete financial years. Figures shown are for 2025/26, the most recent year held in full. Its total is checked against this council's published revenue account budget, because the outturn return for that year is not due for about another two years. The check is made after money this body passes to other councils, police and fire authorities, and to central government as the business rates share, has been taken out: a precept, a levy or a rates share is collected on another authority's behalf rather than spent here. Payments to the health service, to colleges, to pension funds and to HM Revenue and Customs are not taken out, because those are things this body bought or owed. Both figures are shown.
Refunds and credit notes worth £68,564,224 are taken off that figure. The value of every payment this council published, counting a refund by its size rather than subtracting it, was £1,300,085,565.
This covers what Lambeth Council publishes above its threshold, which is a part of what it spends, not all of it. Wages and payments below the threshold are not in it.
Largest suppliers in 2025/26
Payments to named individuals are counted in the total above but never listed here. A linked supplier has a cross council page showing what every council this site holds published about paying it, which is a lower bound and never a total.
Largest spending categories in 2025/26
Categories are the council's own labels, and the largest few only. They do not add up to the total.
