Question to the HM Treasury:
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, how much revenue his Department has raised from VAT on e-publications in (a) 2016, (b) 2017, (c) 2018 and (d) 2019 to 11 July 2019.
The information that HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) collect from taxpayers on their VAT returns does not provide enough detail to be able to quantify the revenue raised from these supplies precisely. HMRC do not require detail on particular products and customer types because it would place a considerable administrative burden on businesses.
