2.2  What you must register

Category 1: Remuneration

Any paid work or role for which you receive or expect payment or reward, regardless of how casual or trivial in nature.

Category 2: Other roles

Any unpaid directorship where the organisation is a subsidiary, or parent of one in which you hold a paid directorship.

Category 3: Contracts

Any current or upcoming contract with the Council involving you or an organisation in which you are a partner, director or significant shareholder. You do not need to state the contract’s value.

Category 4: Election expenses

Any donation of more than £50 (single or cumulative from one source) towards your election expenses, received by you or on your behalf, from 12 months before the election through to the end of your term of office.

Category 5: Property

Any land, house or building you own or rent, or have any other right or interest in (such as being an owner or a tenant, including a council tenant) in Scotland. For personal safety reasons, only the ward location is disclosed on the publicly available Register, but the full address must be provided to the Monitoring Officer.

Category 6: Shares and securities

Any shares or securities where you:

• a.own or have an interest in more than 1% of the issued share capital of a company or body,

  or

• b.own or have an interest in shares or securities in any one company or body where the market value is greater than £25,000 (as at your election date and each 5 April thereafter).

Category 7: Gifts and hospitality

This Category exists due to a previous version of the Code. However, as the current version provides that you are no longer allowed to accept any gifts or hospitality (other than under the very limited circumstances previously outlined), there is no longer a need to register any.

Category 8: Non‑financial interests

Any non‑financial interests that fall within the objective test. These are non‑financial interests that members of the public, with knowledge of the relevant facts, might reasonably think could influence your actions, speeches, votes or decision-making as a councillor. Interests that might fall within this category include membership of another public body, club, society, trade union or voluntary organisation.

Category 9: Close family members

Register interests of close family members who have, or are likely to have, transactions with the Council.
