The question

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what the estimated annual revenue is from the hotel sector in relation to (a) business rates, (b) VAT, (c) National Insurance on employers and (d) corporation tax, according to records held by (i) HM Treasury and (ii) HMRC, in the most recent year for which figures are available.

Answered by Dan Tomlinson

HM Revenue and Customs does not hold aggregated data on the revenue contribution of the hotel sector in relation to VAT, National insurance on employers or corporation tax. Sectoral breakdowns for individual taxes can be found on GOV.UK. HMRC does not administer business rates.
