- Supporting Commentary The financial position at 30th September 2025 is presented above. The financial position is mostly in line with the budget for 2025/26. The main variances in income relate to donations which are lower than budgeted and other income which is higher than budgeted. We continue to maximise donation opportunities and try to increase this. Other income includes an increased Museum & Galleries tax relief claim receipt due to the exhibition work on the opening of Perth Museum, and the associated tax relief we were able to obtain. The main variances in expenditure relate to staff costs which are higher than budgeted. This is a result of the 2024/25 pay award being 4% compared to the 3% included in our budgeted figures.
