HC Deb 07 November 2000 vol 356 cc120-1W
Mr. Llwyd

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer how much tax was raised in Wales broken down by(a) income tax, (b) VAT, (c) corporation tax and (d) other tax in the last year for which figures are available. [135237]

Dawn Primarolo

For 1998–99:(a) the figure for income tax liability from people living in Wales will be included in the next edition of "Inland Revenue Statistics 2000", a copy of which will be placed in the Library of the House;

(b) VAT is a centrally collected tax and the figure for receipts is available only for the UK as a whole (HM Customs and Excise Annual Report, Table A1). However it is possible to estimate tax shares using figures for household expenditure (published by ONS in "Family Expenditure"), apportioned by the number of households (published by ONS in "Regional Trends", or available from the DETR);

(c) corporation tax figures are not available; and

(d) all other Customs and Excise taxes are collected centrally, and figures for receipts are available only for the UK as a whole (HM Customs and Excise Annual Report, Table A1). It is possible to estimate tax shares using household expenditure figures and household numbers (see (b)), or per capita of the adult population.

Mr. Llwyd

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer how much(a) value-added tax, and (b) income tax was collected in each tax office in Wales in each year since 1995. [135238]
