Taxation: Statistics

Asked by Sir Mel StrideConservativeTreasuryTabled Answered 13 April 2026UIN 123591

The question

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, why the statistics publication entitled Minor tax expenditures and structural reliefs on GOV.UK has not been updated since December 2024.

Answered by Dan Tomlinson

Estimates of the exchequer cost of Minor tax expenditures and structural reliefs were updated in January 2026 and are now contained in a new Tax Relief Statistics publication which combines the previous Minor tax expenditures and structural reliefs publication with the related Non-structural tax relief statistics publication, and can be found here:

The change was made following feedback from stakeholders and aims to improve clarity and accessibility.
