1 The estimated revenue effects of changes in the basic rate of income tax in the main allowances of 10 per cent, are rounded to the nearest £25 million; other effects over £50 million are rounded to the nearest £5 million; effects of less than £50 million are rerounded to the nearest £1 million. The extent of rounding reflects the desire to avoid undue compounding of its effects when numbers are pro-rated, rather than the accuracy of the estimates. The figures for income tax changes include consequential effects on the yield of capital gains tax. Changes are assumed to take effect from April 1991.
2 Including the effect of the change on receipts of advance corporation tax and on consequent liability to mainstream corporation tax.
3 Allowances for those aged 65–74 and those aged 75 and over.
4 Figures include revenue effects of changing additional personal allowance and widow's bereavement allowance by £100.
5 Percentage changes are calculated with reference to 1990–91 levels.
6 Assessment to corporation tax normally related to the preceding year. These estimates are, therefore, the changes to revenue that would occur if the changed rates were applied to incomes from 1 April 1990.
7 These figures ignore effects arising from the imputation system.
