What this measures

Everything HMRC collected in the financial year across every tax and duty it administers, including payable tax credits, on a cash basis.

What this doesn’t measure

Taxes HMRC does not collect: council tax, business rates, vehicle excise duty and the devolved taxes are raised elsewhere and are not in this total.

Important caveat

Receipts are cash received in the period, so they lag the activity being taxed: Self Assessment income tax and capital gains tax arrive up to a year later, and Corporation Tax arrives in instalments. Figures are in cash terms, so a rise partly reflects inflation and a growing economy rather than a heavier tax. Some taxes did not exist in earlier years and their columns are blank rather than zero. HMRC does not collect every tax: council tax, business rates, vehicle excise duty and the devolved Scottish and Welsh taxes are raised elsewhere.

Revision history

No period of this series has been revised since it was first ingested here. Revisions are recorded automatically when a later release publishes a different figure for the same period.
