Isles of Scilly Registered business:
The UK Business: Activity, size and location publication records the number of businesses registered for VAT and/or PAYE broken down to local authority/district level. The number of businesses registered for VAT and/or PAYE in the Isles of Scilly in 2015 was 205 (data are rounded.) Please note these figures do not include very small businesses typically those that fall below the VAT and PAYE thresholds. In 1990 the data were published on a different basis and rather than the number of enterprises (businesses) the publication recorded the number of VAT legal units. In addition to this the Isles of Scilly were included with Cornwall in the publication. Therefore, we have no comparable data for 1990 and unfortunately no data for 1900 and 1950.
