21 February 2025: HMRC tax receipts and National Insurance contributions for the UK
In August 2024 we advised that annual VAT receipts for 2022 to 2023 and 2023 to 2024 had not been aligned to HMRC’s cash-based Trust Statement while ongoing assurance is performed. Our expectation is that we will now align these years with HMRC’s accounts, and this will result in a downward reduction to total VAT receipts reported over this period.
HMRC are also implementing a change to methodology to more closely align in-year reporting to end of year accounting processes and provide a more accurate in-year view. These changes are expected to reduce annual receipts by less than 1% over 2022/23, 2023/24 and 2024/25.
We are planning on publishing these revisions on 21 March 2025. The revisions will have impacts on associated publications. Details of these publications and planned timeline for revision is:
- HMRC tax receipts and National Insurance contributions for the UK – for 2022 to 2023 and 2023 to 2024 and 2024 to 2025 – on 21 March 2025
- VAT gap estimates for 2023 to 2024 – on 26 March 2025
- VAT annual statistics for 2022 to 2023 and 2023 to 2024 – on 23 April 2025
- Measuring Tax Gaps 2025 for 2022 to 2023 – in June 2025 – date to be confirmed on the usual HMRC and GOV.UK release calendar at least a month ahead.
