VAT gap estimates

Imported from official source

Finance Classified by Officially

Following consultation and careful consideration, we have decided to stop publishing the interim VAT Gap updates. Future updates on VAT Gap estimates will continue to be provided through the annual VAT Gap publication. The next VAT gap estimate will be published as part of the Measuring Tax Gaps publication in 2027.

The VAT gap is the difference between the VAT theoretical liability, estimated using national accounts data, and actual cash receipts.

This is an extract. The publication continues at the source.
