§ Mr. PriskTo ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what the estimated tax yields from the Inland Revenue Large Business Office were for each year from 1997; and what the actual tax yield outcome was in each year. [174945]
§ Dawn PrimaroloThe Large Business Office was only formed in 1997 so there was no basis to make a forecast until 1998–99. The forecast was included in the board's report.
An overall forecast for 1999–2000 for the Department was made but the make up of this figure is not available. For subsequent years no forecast of compliance yield was made.
The additional tax yield figures from the LBO for 1999–2000 to 2002–03 as adjusted are set out in the board's reports which are available in the House of Commons Library.
Those for 2003–04 are being audited for inclusion in the report for 2003–04 which will be published later this year.
