I wrote last week about how inappropriate I thought HMRC's claims with regard to \u00a323.9bn of extra tax collected by it <\/a>as a result of compliance activities really were.<\/p>\n

Because of my concerns I have now submitted the following Freedom of Information request to them on this issue. I will await their response with interest:<\/p>\n

In relation to your May 2014 Bulletin entitled 'Fast Facts: Record Revenues for the UK'<\/i> I have noted FoI request FOI 3059\/13. I have also noted the definition of \u2018revenue protected\u2019 on page 11 of\u00a0 HMRC\u2019s accounts for 2011\/12. \u00a0I should be grateful if you would provide:<\/p>\n

1) An analysis of the \u00a323.9bn of additional tax revenue (\"the \u00a323.9bn\") by customer segment.\u00a0 If such a breakdown cannot be provided, please provide an analysis by the HMRC directorate and, where appropriate, sub-directorate.<\/p>\n

2) An analysis of the \u00a323.9bn by the type of customer behaviour to which it relates.\u00a0 Within each behavioural category, please also indicate the amount of revenue that resulted from each of: out of court\/pre-litigation settlements; lead litigation cases; litigation follower cases; other.<\/p>\n

3) An analysis of the revenue protected included in the \u00a323.9 billion by category as noted in the 2011\/12 accounts i.e. split between seizing illicit goods, preventing erroneous payments, deterring future non-compliance, addressing avoidance loopholes, and any other categories used by you for this purpose.<\/p>\n

4) An analysis of the revenue protected using the categories noted in FoI 3059\/13 i.e. revenue loss prevention, future revenue benefit and\u00a0 product & process revenue.<\/p>\n

5) Confirmation of whether the \u00a323.9bn includes the estimated revenue impact of changes to tax law.<\/p>\n

6) Confirmation of whether the estimated impact of any or all of the 42 changes to tax law referred to on page 3 of the bulletin was included in the \u00a323.9bn.<\/p>\n

7) HMRC's estimate of the revenue impact of the 42 changes of tax law referred to on page 3 of the bulletin along with, if different, the amount of this that was included in the \u00a323.9bn.<\/p>\n

8) The amount of the \u00a323.9bn that relates to schemes disclosed under the Disclosure of Tax Avoidance Schemes (DOTAS) regime.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
