Official Statistics: Tax reliefs in force: estimates of cost unavailable

Updated: This list has been updated to cover the years 2016 to 2017, and 2017 to 2018.

These statistics are part of a collection of statistics relating to tax relief statistics.

This table lists reliefs for which there is insufficient data available on which to base any reasonable estimate. In some cases, the costs of reliefs cannot be reliably estimated because there is insufficient available information and the cost of collecting the necessary data or the burden imposed on taxpayers would be disproportionate.

Official Statistics: Minor tax reliefs

Updated: The tables have been updated with the latest available estimates for tax reliefs.

Only estimates of tax reliefs costing less than £50 million in both years are included in this publication. Reliefs with higher costs, where they can be estimated, are given in the table Estimated costs of the principal tax reliefs.

These figures fall outside the scope of National Statistics.

Official Statistics: Direct effects of illustrative tax changes

Updated: The table and bulletin have been updated in line with the Budget 2017 data.

This table is a ‘ready reckoner’ showing estimates of the effects of various illustrative tax changes on tax receipts in 2018 to 2019 through to 2020 to 2021. Estimates are measured from the relevant standard indexed base, meaning they show the impacts of the various illustrative changes on top of what is already assumed in the indexed baseline (generally revalorisation plus any announced pre-commitments).

National Statistics: Monthly property transactions completed in the UK with value of £40,000 or above

Updated: Update with provisional data from January 2017

This publication presents monthly estimates of the number of residential and non-residential property transactions in the UK and its constituent countries.

The figures are based on HMRC’s Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT) database, which records the information submitted by property purchasers on the Land Transaction Return (SDLT1). Land and Buildings Transaction Tax (LBTT) replaced UK Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT) in Scotland from 1 April 2015, and this data is provided to us by Revenue Scotland.
