Heading 2000: Includes some voluntary contributions which cannot be separately identified.
Heading 5113: Following the SNA 2008 classification, the digital services tax is classified by the ONS as a Tax on imports excluding VAT and import duties (D.2122). However, it is classified in Revenue Statistics in the category Taxes on turnover and other general taxes on goods and services (5113) for consistency across OECD countries reporting the same type of tax.
Heading 6200: The community charge replaced domestic rates in Scotland in April 1989 and was extended to England and Wales in April 1990. This tax has been classified in heading 6200 as it is a lump-sum tax levied on each adult in a household (domestic rates are classified in heading 4100). Headings for non-wastable tax credits 1110 and 1210 are consistent with the guidelines, and the figures in the data are treated accordingly. The following method is adopted separately for Working Families 'Tax Credit and Disabled Persons Tax Credit' paid from 1999 to 2003. For each calendar year, a random sample of awards over-lapping the quarter is taken. Each recipient family's income tax liability for the fiscal year within which the quarter falls is calculated, based on the earned income reported for the award (uprated to the middle of the overlap period). And the result multiplied by the number of days in the overlap period divided by 365. The tax expenditure component is defined as the minimum of this amount and the total amount of award paid in the overlap period. The total amount of award paid and the tax expenditure component are each summed over the sample cases, and the ratio is taken as the tax expenditure ration for the quarter. From 2003, the equivalent breakdown for Child and Working tax credits is based on household survey data. Survey data is used to estimate the breakdown into the tax expenditure and the transfer components for the other smaller tax credits. The United Kingdom Personal Tax Credit information presented in Revenue Statistics is on a cash basis (rather than an accrual basis as for the rest of the data). PTC information on a financial year basis has been used as a proxy for calendar year. Please note that since 2015-16 tax credits is no longer split into tax expenditure and transfer component. The split for years after 2014-15 is estimated by applying the 2014-15 split to total personal tax credits expenditure. The sum of tax expenditure and transfer components may not match the total due to rounding. Total values are consistent with published figures available here: https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/hmrc-tax-and-nics-receipts-for-the-uk.
Please note that the sum of the corporate tax credit (CTC) components in the United Kingdom may not match total CTC's due to rounding. The CTC information presented in Revenue Statistics is on a cash basis (rather than an accrual basis as for the rest of the data). CTC information on a financial year basis has been used as a proxy for calendar year. Please note that the breakdown of total CTCs from 2002/03 to 2010/11 have been estimated using historic proportional splits applied to total published CTC information. Total values are consistent with published figures available here: https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/hmrc-tax-and-nics-receipts-for-the-uk.
