The European State Finance Database (ESFD) is an international collaborative research project for the collection of data in European fiscal history. There are no strict geographical or chronological boundaries to the collection, although data for this collection comprise the period between c.1200 to c.1815. The purpose of the ESFD was to establish a significant database of European financial and fiscal records. The data are drawn from the main extant sources of a number of European countries, as the evidence and the state of scholarship permit. The aim was to collect the data made available by scholars, whether drawing upon their published or unpublished archival research, or from other published material.
The ESFD project at the University of Leicester serves also to assist scholars working with the data by providing statistical manipulations of data and high quality graphical outputs for publication. The broad aim of the project was to act as a facilitator for a general methodological and statistical advance in the area of European fiscal history, with data capture and the interpretation of data in key publications as the measurable indicators of that advance. The data were originally deposited at the UK Data Archive in SAS transport format and as ASCII files; however, data files in this new edition have been saved as tab delimited files. Furthermore, this new edition features documentation in the form of a single file containing essential data file metadata, source details and notes of interest for particular files.

Main Topics:

Each record is the income or expenditure of an individual tax for a given year and treasury.
Variables
Archival source; starting month; starting year; ending month; ending year; caja id; tax code number; type (debit or credit); pesos de ocho; pesos de ensayados; pesos de oro; tax name.


Please note: this study does not include information on named individuals and would therefore not be useful for personal family history research.

The Family Resources Survey (FRS) has been running continuously since 1992 to meet the information needs of the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP). It is almost wholly funded by DWP.

The FRS collects information from a large, and representative sample of private households in the United Kingdom (prior to 2002, it covered Great Britain only). The interview year runs from April to March.

The focus of the survey is on income, and how much comes from the many possible sources (such as employee earnings, self-employed earnings or profits from businesses, and dividends; individual pensions; state benefits, including Universal Credit and the State Pension; and other sources such as savings and investments). Specific items of expenditure, such as rent or mortgage, Council Tax and water bills, are also covered.

Many other topics are covered and the dataset has a very wide range of personal characteristics, at the adult or child, family and then household levels. These include education, caring, childcare and disability. The dataset also captures material deprivation, household food security and (new for 2021/22) household food bank usage.

The FRS is a national statistic whose results are published on the gov.uk website. It is also possible to create your own tables from FRS data, using DWP’s Stat Xplore tool. Further information can be found on the gov.uk Family Resources Survey webpage.

Secure Access FRS data
In addition to the standard End User Licence (EUL) version, Secure Access datasets, containing unrounded data and additional variables, are also available for FRS from 2005/06 onwards - see SN 9256. Prospective users of the Secure Access version of the FRS will need to fulfil additional requirements beyond those associated with the EUL datasets. Full details of the application requirements are available from http://ukdataservice.ac.uk/media/178323/secure_frs_application_guidance.pdf" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Guidance on applying for the Family Resources Survey: Secure Access.

FRS, HBAI and PI
The FRS underpins the related Households Below Average Income (HBAI) dataset, which focuses on poverty in the UK, and the related Pensioners' Incomes (PI) dataset. The EUL versions of HBAI and PI are held under SNs 5828 and 8503, respectively. The Secure Access versions are held under SN 7196 and 9257 (see above).

FRS 2022-23

The impact of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic on the FRS 2022-23 survey was much reduced when compared with the two previous survey years. Throughout the year, there was a gradual return to pre-pandemic fieldwork practices, with the majority of interviews being conducted in face-to-face mode. The achieved sample was just over 25,000 households. Users are advised to consult the FRS 2022-23 Background Information and Methodology document for detailed information on changes, developments and issues related to the 2022-23 FRS data set and publication. Alongside the usual topics covered, the 2022-2023 FRS also includes variables for Cost of Living support, including those on certain state benefits; energy bill support; and Council Tax support. See documentation for further details.

FRS 2021-22 and 2020-21 and the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic

The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has impacted the FRS 2021-22 and 2020-21 data collection in the following ways:

• In 2020-21, fieldwork operations for the FRS were rapidly changed in response to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and the introduction of national lockdown restrictions. The established face-to-face interviewing approach employed on the FRS was suspended and replaced with telephone interviewing for the whole of the 2020-21 survey year.

• This change impacted both the size and composition of the achieved sample. This shift in mode of interview has been accompanied by a substantial reduction in the number of interviews achieved: just over 10,000 interviews were achieved this year, compared with 19,000 to 20,000 in a typical FRS year. While we made every effort to address additional biases identified (e.g. by altering our weighting regime), some residual bias remains. Please see the FRS 2020-21 Background Information and Methodology document for more information.
• The FRS team have published a technical report for the 2020-21 survey, which provides a full assessment of the impact of the pandemic on the statistics. In line with the Statistics Code of Practice, this is designed to assist users with interpreting the data and to aid transparency over decisions and data quality issues.

• In 2021-22, the interview mode was largely telephone, with partial return to face-to-face interviews towards end of survey year. The achieved sample was over 16,000 households. This is a return towards the number expected in a normal survey year (around 20,000 households).
• In both survey years, there remain areas where users are advised to exercise caution when making comparisons to other survey years. More details on how the results for the 2020 to 2021 and 2021-22 survey years were affected by the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic can be found in the FRS 2020 to 2021 Background Information and Methodology and FRS 2021 to 2022 Background Information and Methodology.

The FRS team are seeking users' feedback on the 2020-21 and 2021-22 FRS. Given the breadth of groups covered by the FRS data, it has not been possible for DWP statisticians to assess or validate every breakdown which is of interest to external researchers and users. Therefore, the FRS team are inviting users to let them know of any insights you may have relating to data quality or trends when analysing these data for your area of interest. Please send any feedback directly to the FRS Team Inbox: team.frs@dwp.gov.uk

Latest edition information

For the second edition (May 2025), the data were redeposited. The following changes have been made:

• An ONS-delivered fix to the highest level of qualification (EDUCQUAL) which for several adults had been erroneously recorded.
• For ESA (benefit 16 on the BENEFITS table) the associated VAR3 has now been populated using ESA admin data, to show whether cases are Support Group etc.
• For Pension Credit recipients (benefit 4 on the BENEFITS table) adding the low-income benefits and tax credits Cost of Living Payment as benefit 124; with its flag CLPAYIRB set on the ADULT table.

This dataset provides information on local precepting authorities (parishes, charter trustees and Temples) and the amount of council tax collected on their behalf by their billing authorities in England, known as a precept, for the financial years 2013-14 and 2014-15. Data are collected from Council Tax Return Forms completed by local authorities. A process has been undertaken to match the parishes recorded to standard ONS codes, but it has not been possible to match Charter Trustees, Temples and 26 parishes, and therefore these will not appear in map(s) as they do not have an ONS Code.

This release provides information on individual local parishes and the amount of council tax collected on their behalf by their billing authorities in England, for the financial year 2013-14.

This is the first year that the Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG) has collected data about individual parishes. Up to and including 2012-13 this information was collected by the Chartered Institute of Public Finance and Accountancy (CIPFA).

The information in this release is derived from the local precepting authorities section (lines 23, 24 and 25) submitted by all 326 billing authorities in England; and the individual local data section (lines 23x, 24x and 25x) of the Council Tax Requirement (CTR1) forms submit-ted by 241 parished billing authorities. The data are as reported by local authorities, and have been subjected to rigorous validation processes.

The release has been compiled by the Local Government Finance - Data Collection, Analy-sis and Accountancy division of the Department for Communities and Local Government. Parishes and other local precepting authorities in England, 2013-14

There are more than 10,000 parishes in England. A parish may be represented by a parish council, a town council or community council. In the case of small parishes, the parish meet-ing (an annual meeting of all electors in a parish) can take on the role of parish council. Par-ishes represent the most local level of Government in England - the third tier of local gov-ernment.

In a small number of the un-parished areas bodies called “charter trustees” exist. These bodies exist to administer ceremonial functions, such as the appointment of a mayor, where there is no parish to administer them. There are currently 16 such bodies in England one less than in 2012-13 due to Crewe in Cheshire becoming a parish council on 4 April 2013.

There are two further local precepting authorities: the Inner and Middle Temples of London (“the Temples”) situated within the Temple area of the City of London. The Temples are dif-ferent from parishes and charter trustees in that they perform the functions within their area that are performed by the City of London authority (“the City”). In exchange for performing these functions the City pays the Temples an annual precept apportioned from the council tax raised by the City.

Parish or village councils need funds to support their activities. These funds are raised by adding an extra cost known as a "precept" to each householder's Council Tax bill. Parishes (together with charter trustees and the two Temples of London as described above) are col-lectively known as “local precepting authorities”. This means they have the power to raise a precept on properties in their area in order to finance the functions that they perform. Parish precepts are included separately on council tax bills and are collected by the billing authority on behalf of the parish.

Some smaller parishes may group together for precepting purposes and will perform this function as one local precepting authority and for the purposes of this release are counted as 1 parish.

Further information is provided in the Definitions section of this release. (https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/260449/Parishes_and_other_precepting_authorities_2013-14_England_revised_.pdf)

Special factors affecting comparability to previous years

This is the first time DCLG has collected local parish council tax data. Changes to the council tax system and the method for collecting individual parish data mean these figures are not directly comparable to earlier years and caution must be taken when interpreting time trends. Significant factors which have affected comparability include:

Localisation of council tax support; a change in the way council tax benefit is paid. Council tax support is now paid in the form of a grant passed down to parishes from their billing authori-ties and is not included in the local precept. Previously individual council taxpayers might re-ceive support to pay their council tax bill from DWP. The value of this support would have been included in the local precept. However, taxpayers now have their bills covered by coun-cil tax support and therefore are removed from the tax base, whereas under the old system they would previously have been included. The localisation

Revised details of the level of council tax set by local authorities in England for 2012-13 were announced on 9 May 2012. Council tax can be measured in ‘Band D’ or in ‘per dwelling’ terms. Band D has historically been used as the standard for comparing council tax levels between and across local authorities, as this measure is not affected by the varying distribution of properties in bands that can be found across authorities. Additionally, the number of Band D equivalent dwellings are collected at around the same time that the council tax levels are set by the local authority, whereas the ‘per dwelling’ calculation uses chargeable dwellings figures that are captured some five months in advance of setting council tax levels. The Band D measure therefore better reflects the latest position. https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/council-tax-statistics https://www.gov.uk/government/statistical-data-sets/live-tables-on-council-tax

The Survey of Personal Incomes (SPI) is based on information held by HM Revenue and Customs tax offices on individuals who could be liable to UK income tax. It is carried out annually by HMRC and covers income assessable to tax for each tax year. Not all of them are taxpayers because the operation of personal reliefs and allowances may remove them from liability. Where income exceeds the threshold for operation of Pay-As-You-Earn (PAYE), the survey provides the most comprehensive and accurate official source of data on personal incomes.

The SPI is compiled to provide a quantified evidence base from which to cost proposed changes to tax rates, personal allowances and other tax reliefs for Treasury Ministers. It is used to inform policy decisions within HMRC and the Treasury, as well as for tax modelling and forecasting purposes. In addition, it is used to provide summary information for the National Accounts that are prepared by the Office for National Statistics. Finally, it is used to provide information to Members of Parliament, other Government Departments, companies, organisation and individuals.

The UK Data Archive currently holds the Public Use Tape (PUT) data for 1985-86 and 1995-96 onwards (data for 2008-09 is currently unavailable). For further details of sampling and coverage criteria, see documentation. Further information about the SPI, including income tax and personal incomes statistics, is available on the GOV.UK Statistics about personal incomes webpage.


Main Topics:
The Public Use Tape (PUT) dataset is an anonymised dataset and is based on the SPI. It allows users to produce their own analysis. The dataset contains a range of variables about personal incomes arising from employment, self employment, pension, benefits, property, savings, investments and other income sources. The dataset also contains variables about allowances, deductions and reliefs, which people might be due. There is also a regional code variable on the dataset and a trade code for cases which are self-employed. A list of data items on the Public Use Tape is provided in Annex A of the documentation.

This dataset contains detailed information about rental properties across various locations in the UK. The data was collected by scraping Rightmove, a popular real estate platform. Each entry in the dataset includes the property's address, subdistrict code, rental price, deposit amount, letting type, furnish type, council tax details, property type, number of bedrooms and bathrooms, size in square feet, average distance to the nearest train station, and the count of nearest stations.

Researchers and analysts interested in the UK rental market can utilize this dataset to explore rental trends, pricing variations based on location and property type, amenities preferences, and more. The dataset provides a valuable resource for machine learning models, statistical analysis, and market research in the real estate sector.

Metadata: Source: The data was collected by scraping the Rightmove real estate platform, a leading source for property listings in the UK. Date Range: The dataset covers rental property listings available during the scraping period. Geographical Coverage: Primarily focused on various locations across the UK, providing insights into regional rental markets. Data Fields: Address: The location of the rental property. Subdistrict Code: A code representing the subdistrict or area of the property. Rent: The monthly rental price in GBP (£) for the property. Deposit: The deposit amount required for renting the property. Let Type: Indicates whether the property is available for short-term or long-term rental. Furnish Type: Describes the furnishing status of the property (e.g., furnished, unfurnished, or flexible options). Council Tax: Information about the council tax associated with the property. Property Type: Specifies the type of property, such as apartment, flat, maisonette, etc. Bedrooms: The number of bedrooms in the property. Bathrooms: The number of bathrooms in the property. Size: The size of the property in square feet (sq ft). Average Distance to Nearest Station: The average distance (in miles) to the nearest train station from the property. Nearest Station Count: The count of nearest train stations within a certain distance from the property. Data Quality: The data may contain missing values or "Ask agent" placeholders, which require direct inquiry with agents or landlords for specific information. Potential Uses: The dataset can be used for market analysis, rental price prediction models, understanding property preferences, and exploring the impact of location and amenities on rental properties in the UK.

This dataset shows the average Band D council tax amount charged by each billing authority and county council in England. Billing authorities comprise shire districts, unitary authorities, metropolitan districts and London boroughs.

The information was collected on the Council Tax Requirement forms submitted by all billing and major precepting authorities to DCLG. Statistical releases giving full details of council tax for each year can be found at https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/council-tax-statistics. Parish precepts are amounts raised by parishes to fund their activities and added to council tax bills by the billing authority.

We used the Factiva news database to collect the full-text articles from both countries searching for articles from January 1, 2015 through January 31, 2021. We mitigated issues of “completeness” (Lacy et al., 2015, p. 795) by comparing our search results on Factiva, LexisNexis, and the NewsAPI. The Factiva database not only aggregated the results from LexisNexis and the NewsAPI, but also included additional publications. To eliminate differences in search results, we collected our sample of articles from a single Factiva account. In addition, since selecting search terms can be a “subjective decision” (Lacy et al., 2015, p. 794), to increase “content validity” (Lacy et al., 2015, p. 794), we collected articles with at least three mentions of the term “tampon tax” or at least three mentions of the term “menstrual equity,” an umbrella term used to describe equal and comprehensive access to menstrual products. Since these terms are used in similar contexts (Weiss-Wolf, 2017), we included both to increase our chances of drawing a representative sample size. Our Factiva query returned 159 articles across both countries. Of those, 65 articles were from U.S. publications and 94 articles were from U.K. publications. Using Stryker et al.’s (2006) validation metrics for calculating the external validity of a sample of articles, our query terms retrieved 98% (± 5) of all tampon tax stories and 92% of the retrieved stories were relevant (see Appendix, Table A). Thus, our correction coefficient across our entire sample is .94 bringing the sample size closer to 149 when correcting for the sampling error associated with the search strings (Stryker et al., 2006). As such, our sampling methods meet the requirements for external validity. After excluding PR and University Wires, including just U.S.-based stories (i.e., excluding stories published by U.S. publications about the tampon tax abroad), and selecting only relevant results, our final U.S. sample included 47 articles. As Table 1 demonstrates, a total of 32 articles were published by national publications (68% of U.S. sample, 30% of total sample) and 15 articles were published by local publications (32% of U.S. sample, 14% of total sample). The U.S. articles represent 44% of the total sample. For our U.K. sample, we followed a parallel process with one exception: Since a general search on Factiva returned hundreds of articles, we selected publications based on national newspapers listed in the 2021 “Who Owns the Media Report” by Media Reform (Coalition, 2021). The Sun on Sunday was the only publication from this list that was not available on Factiva. After excluding any irrelevant results from the 94 results, including 6 articles covering a controversy surrounding a pro-life organization being the recipient of a grant from the “Tampon Tax Fund”—a fund of monies levied from taxes on menstrual products distributed to women-focused organizations who applied for the funds—our final U.K. sample included 61 articles.

DLSY-C (Danish: Generationsundersøgelsen) is a survey which samples all children born to all participants in an ongoing Danish cohort study, the Danish Longitudinal Survey of Youth (DLSY). The DLSY-C focuses on intergenerational relations since information on the DLSY-C respondents can be linked to, first, information on parents collected over the period 1968-2004, and information on grandparents (the parents of the original DLSY respondents). The DLSY respondents have a total of just above 5,400 children. It was possible to link data from administrative registers for all of these DLSY-C children.

OpenDataCommunities is the official UK Department for Communities and Local Government linked data platform. The platform provides a selection of official statistics and data outputs on a variety of themes related to DCLG’s objectives including: Local Government finance, housing and homelessness, wellbeing, deprivation and the department’s business plan as well as supporting reference data used to describe and link the data. This dataset provides information on local precepting authorities (parishes, charter trustees and Temples) and the amount of council tax collected on their behalf by their billing authorities in England, known as a precept, for the financial years 2013-14 and 2014-15. Data are collected from Council Tax Return Forms completed by local authorities. A process has been undertaken to match the parishes recorded to standard ONS codes, but it has not been possible to match Charter Trustees, Temples and 26 parishes, and therefore these will not appear in map(s) as they do not have an ONS Code. This is the linked data resource for Open Data Communities http://opendatacommunities.org/

These National Statistics provide monthly estimates of the number of residential and non-residential property transactions in the UK and its constituent countries. National Statistics are accredited official statistics.

England and Northern Ireland statistics are based on information submitted to the HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT) database by taxpayers on SDLT returns.

Land and Buildings Transaction Tax (LBTT) replaced SDLT in Scotland from 1 April 2015 and this data is provided to HMRC by https://www.revenue.scot/">Revenue Scotland to continue the time series.

Land Transaction Tax (LTT) replaced SDLT in Wales from 1 April 2018. To continue the time series, the https://gov.wales/welsh-revenue-authority">Welsh Revenue Authority (WRA) have provided HMRC with a monthly data feed of LTT transactions since July 2021.

LTT figures for the latest month are estimated using a grossing factor based on data for the most recent and complete financial year. Until June 2021, LTT transactions for the latest month were estimated by HMRC based upon year on year growth in line with other UK nations.

LTT transactions up to the penultimate month are aligned with LTT statistics.

A Business Improvement District (BID) is a defined area within which local businesses are required to pay an additional levy. The collected tax will be invested locally to fund projects within the district's boundaries. The BID is often funded primarily through the levy but can also draw on other public and private funding streams. There are currently 70 London BIDs with new ones being developed every year. Note: The dataset was created by the GLA's GIS team through digitisation of maps published by the BID creators. These original mapsvary in quality and scales of resolution, as a result the GLA cannot guarantee the exact boundary locations. There is an inconsistency between the number of BID polygons and number of BIDs, this is due to some BID polygons having multiple BID types e.g. Town Centre, Property and Industrial.
