Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, what estimate he has made of the amount accrued to the public purse from VAT on phone-call donations to charity in each of the last five financial years.

This level of detail is not requested on VAT returns and therefore we do not have data available on how much revenue is raised from VAT on phone charges for making donations to charities. There is no VAT on the donations.
