The table published on 23rd January has been revised because of a minor error, which has a small and limited impact to a couple of estimates. Specifically for the reduced rate of VAT on smoking cessation products, the reduced rate of VAT on women's sanitary products and the zero rate of VAT on cycle helmets in years 2016-17 and 2017-18, as they had estimates in the wrong order. This occurred due to a processing error and the revisions do not affect any other figures in the publication. Further Quality Assurance measures have been built in to avoid this reoccurring
