How is this useful? The company sells into the government and has the following income from government. This provides an indication of the sources of their revenue. This is unlikely to be a complete picture of their income from government sources since many councils and countries do not disclose this information or do so inconsistently. For example UK central government has a £ 25,000 transaction threshold which means it is possible for significant spend to not be disclosed. Where there are multiple transactions in a month, we consolidate daily transactions to provide an aggregate value for the month - the description will apply to the first transaction and the total may not reflect all spend on the description.

Contracts

Contracts Awarded

Customer	Description	Contract award date	Value
Sheffield City Council	Advertising and marketing services	2013/03/04
The Council has its own ‘in-house' Communications Service, however there is a requirement, from time to time, for communications work to be commissioned externally. This Contract will be a framework agreement with a number of suppliers to enable the Council's Communications Service to call off their requirements for the 3 Lots described below.

Outgoings

Business Rates/Property Tax

No properties were found where DESIGN BY DISTRACTION LIMITED is liable for the business rates / property tax. This could be for a number of reasons.

The council hasnt published the data
We havent found or been able to process the councils data
The company is part of a group of companies and another company in the group is liable for business rates
The registered office may be a residential address which does not have a commercial designation. If the business is run from home then it won't be a commercial property and hence won't be liable for business rates.
Serviced offices are increasingly popular and therefore a business may not be paying business rates directly - the building owner is and this is incorporated in the office rental charge.
