2012/13 tax gap

HMRC have announced the latest tax gap figures.

HMRC have announced the latest tax gap figures. The tax gap, which is the difference between the amount of tax due and the amount collected, was 6.8% of tax liabilities, or £34 billion, in 2012 to 2013.

Financial Secretary to the Treasury David Gauke said:

'Since 2010 to 2011 the percentage tax gap has stayed lower than at any point under the previous government, saving the country £4 billion. Today's figures show that there's still more work to do but our continued drive to tackle avoidance means that avoidance is down.'
