HC Deb 26 February 1981 vol 999 c423W
43. Mr. Hooley

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what was the aggregate revenue to the Exchequer, in each of the last five years for which figures are available, from North Sea oil and gas operations, including corporation tax, personal taxation, petroleum revenue tax and taxation on companies other than oil companies whose earnings depend substantially on servicing the offshore operations.

Mr. Peter Rees

For revenues from royalties, petroleum revenue tax and corporation tax from North Sea oil and gas production I refer the hon. Member to the answer I gave the hon. Member for Oldham, West (Mr. Meacher) on 10 December 1980—[Vol. 995, c. 641–44.] Estimates of the revenues from personal taxation of North Sea employees and from taxation on companies other than oil companies whose earnings depend substantially on servicing the offshore operations are not readily available.
