HMRC publishes quarterly updates that report on the total debt balance at the end of each quarter. The most recent update was published on 8 January 2026 and can be found at www.gov.uk/government/collections/hmrc-quarterly-performance-updates.

HMRC publishes data on individual tax heads but does not publish an aggregated dataset on business taxes.
