Question to the HM Treasury:
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, how many companies received tax relief for decommissioning expenditure in 2017-18.
The figure for 2018-19 can be found in HMRC’s January 2019 “Tax relief statistics” publication, available on GOV.UK. In 2017-18 the rounded number of claimants was the same as the 2018-19 figure.
