In 2024/25 the value of tax receipts for the United Kingdom amounted to approximately 840 billion British pounds. Tax receipts form the bulk of UK government income, based on various direct and indirect taxes. Although tax income has gradually increased throughout most of this period, there is a noticeable dip in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Tax revenue sources Of the revenue generated by taxation in 2024/25, over 301 billion of this came from Income Tax receipts, which was the main source of direct tax income for the government. After income tax, the next most substantial direct tax were contributions from National Insurance, which amounted to just over 172.5 billion pounds of tax revenue. The UK's main goods and services tax; Value-added Tax (VAT) amounted to 170.6 billion pounds, while Corporation Tax receipts raised 91.6 billion pounds. Although other smaller direct and indirect taxes produce notable income, these four sources were by far the main sources of income in the previous financial year. UK government finances While taxes and other sources of income raised more than 1.13 trillion pounds in 2024/25, the UK government expenditure was around 1.28 trillion pounds. This gap between revenue and expenditure was financed via government borrowing, which amounted to almost 152 billion pounds. As the UK government has been spending more than it earns for several years, this has resulted in a significant government debt of 2.8 trillion pounds building up, the equivalent of just under 96 percent of GDP in 2024/25.

Income Tax

Individuals may receive many different types of income but not all kinds of income are taxable.

The main kinds of income on which income tax may be payable are income from employment, self-employed profits from a business, occupational and personal pensions, interest from building societies and banks, dividends on shares, and income from property.

Tax is payable on some social security benefits such as the state retirement pension, bereavement allowance, jobseeker's allowance and incapacity benefit - but not on others such as tax credits or pension credit, or child benefit.

Tax is not payable on income received from certain National Savings products such as National Savings certificates, or from Individual Savings Accounts.

Government Revenue Data We Would Like

A complete breakdown of government income broken down by:

• type of tax
• how these tax amounts have changed over time
• how taxes have changed over time
• demographics of the population the money is from, like: age, gender, geographical location and nationality.
• how the demographics of taxed population have changed over time

Is there a functional classification for taxes similar to COFOG for government spending?

I would also like to know how HM Revenue and Customs store the data on the income they receive.

• What type of databases?
• What system of organising the information?

In 2025/26, the budgeted expenditure of the United Kingdom government is expected to be reach 1,335 billion British pounds, with the highest spending function being the 379 billion pounds expected to be spent on social protection, which includes pensions and other welfare benefits. Government spending on health was expected to be 277 billion pounds and was the second-highest spending function in this fiscal year, while education was the third-highest spending category at 146 billion pounds. UK government debt approaching 100 percent of GDP At the end of the 2024/25 financial year, the UK's government debt amounted to approximately 2.8 trillion British pounds, around 96 percent of GDP that year. This is due to the UK having to borrow money to cover its spending commitments, especially at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, when this deficit amounted to 314.6 billion pounds. Without significant cuts to spending or tax rises, the current government is aiming to reduce this debt by creating a stronger, more productive economy. Though this is how Britain's post WW2 debt was reduced, the country faces far more structural problems to growth than it did in the mid 20th century. Income Tax the UK's main revenue source Income Tax is expected to raise approximately 329 billion British pounds in the 2025/26 financial year, and be the largest revenue source for the government that year. Value Added Tax (VAT) receipts are expected to raise 214 billion pounds, with National Insurance contributions reaching 199 billion pounds. Although National Insurance rates for employees has actually fallen recently, the rate which employers pay was one of the main tax rises announced in the Autumn 2024 budget, rising from 13.8 percent to 15 percent. Though this avoided raising tax for workers directly, many UK businesses were critical of the move, with taxation seen as the main issue facing them at the start of 2025.

In 2024/25, the UK government spent approximately 13.3 percent of GDP on social protection, compared with 8.4 percent for health, and 4.1 percent for education. These three spending areas have accounted for the highest share of government spending since the late 1980s. Defence spending as a share of GDP has, by contrast, fallen throughout this period, from a high of 4.6 percent in 1984/85, to just 1.8 percent in the mid-2010s. Main sources of revenue During this same time period, income tax has been the most important source of revenue for the government, accounting for almost ten percent of GDP in the 2022/23 financial year. The UK's main tax levied on sales, Value Added Tax (VAT), was equivalent to 7.4 percent of GDP that year, with National Insurance Contributions at around seven percent of GDP. Taxes raised from businesses via Corporation Tax were the fourth-major source of tax revenue that year, at approximately 3.1 percent of GDP. Debt and borrowing Due to several years of the government spending more than it earns, the government has had to borrow large amounts to finance its commitments. This was especially the case at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic when, due to depressed revenues and increased expenditure, the government borrowed more than 314 billion pounds. This increased the national debt from 1.8 trillion pounds, to around 2.15 trillion pounds, or almost 97 percent of GDP.

Households in the Indian and White Other ethnic groups received the highest percentage of their income from employment out of all ethnic groups.

BackgroundRegular consumption of sugar sweetened beverages (SSBs) is associated with weight gain, type 2 diabetes, and dental caries. The UK will introduce a levy on the manufacturers of SSBs in 2018. Details will be negotiated over the next two years. How the UK public views SSB taxes is likely to be an important determinant of the content and success of the final policy. We aimed to capture the views, ideas and concerns of commenters on major UK news websites on SSB taxes.Methods and findingsWe conducted a qualitative analysis of reader comments to online news coverage of one proposal for an SSB tax in the UK. 1645 comments on four articles were included. Three underpinning themes influenced support or opposition to the tax: the balance between individual responsibility and autonomy, and population need; mistrust of the intention of the proposed tax and those promoting it; and variations in the perceived complexity of unhealthy diets and obesity associated with variations in what are considered appropriate interventions. Arguments under each theme were used to justify both support and opposition in different cases.ConclusionsAs the final form of the UK SSB tax is negotiated, effort should be made to address the concerns we identified. Our results suggest these efforts could usefully focus on emphasising the social and environmental determinants of diet and obesity, reinforcing the benefits of the tax to the NHS, and pitching the tax as playing into a variety of different conceptualisations of obesity.

This report presents the final range of results from the GP Earnings and Expenses Enquiry for the financial year 2005/06. It expands on the report published in October 2007. The new sections are Detailed Results for Contracted GPs (Section E), Headline Figures Time Series for Contracted GPs (Section F) and Accounting year-end analysis (Section G). The Distributional Results for Contracted GPs (Section C) and the Glossary have been expanded. The results for contracted GPs are based on a sample of 17,581 GPs who report one or more sources of self-employment income with accounting year ending in the final quarter (1st January 2006 to 5th April 2006). Figures for contracted GPs relate to earnings, expenses and income derived from all self-employed sources, as reported on tax returns, and so include private as well as NHS work. The results for salaried GPs are based on a sample of 2,743 salaried GPs who were identified as being salaried (i.e. submitted a self-assessment tax return for the year 2005/06 and were found to have more income from employment than self-employment). Figures for salaried GPs relate to earnings, expenses and income derived from all employed and self-employed sources, as reported on tax returns, and so include private as well as NHS work. For both full-time and part-time contractor GPs the results do not include earnings from employment (as a salaried employee) and relate to NHS and private work. The estimates of earnings exclude an estimate of employer's superannuation contributions in the tax year, which will include any Primary Care Organisation (PCO) clawback for previous years. For salaried GPs the results presented include both full- and part-time GPs, and refer only to those salaried GPs who submitted a self-assessment tax return for the year 2005/06 and have been identified as being salaried (see Annex A for further details). The data source for the survey is HM Revenue and Customs' (HMRC's) tax self-assessment (SA) database and reflects the data held at May 2007. Analyses were run on an anonymised dataset by statisticians in HMRC Knowledge, Analysis and Intelligence. This enquiry is the second to be affected by the new General Medical Services (nGMS) contract. As with the results relating to 2004/05, there have been some changes in methodology compared to that used under the old contract, which are discussed further in Annex A. This report has been agreed by the Technical Steering Committee (TSC), which has representation from the four UK Health Departments, NHS Employers and the British Medical Association. For 2005/6, £11,764 has been deducted from average earnings figures for UK GPMS GPs as an estimate of the amount included on tax returns in respect of employer's superannuation contributions paid in 2005/06. It should be noted that this figure is higher than that deducted in 2004/05, which was £6,234. There are a number of reasons for the £5,530 increase in the adjustment, which include: increases in net income wider compliance with HMRC guidance on the tax treatment of superannuation contributions on tax returns clawback by PCOs for superannuation contributions not withheld from global sum payments in 2004/5, because the GP/PCO had underestimated predicted earnings for the year. It is not possible to quantify the relative effects of the different factors. Provided the HMRC guidance for reporting superannuation contributions are, and continue to be, followed at a similar level to 2005/6, there will be no large changes in the average level of the adjustment from improved compliance. Year on year variation in the adjustment will continue to be affected by increases in net income and the effect of clawback. A range of estimates of the effect of pension clawback is given in Annex B. It is possible that the effect of the issues is greater this year than it will be in subsequent years, and it will be necessary to consider future impact once 2006/7 data is available in 2008.

The price of cigarettes in the United Kingdom has substantially increased each year since 2000. In 2023, the average retail price of a 20-pack of cigarettes was 14.25 British pounds. Cigarette taxes The most expensive country in which to purchase cigarettes in Europe was Ireland, with the UK in second place. Cigarette prices across Europe are driven by the respective taxes imposed within each of the member states and consist of a specific duty per thousand cigarettes and an ad valorem rate onto the recommended retail price, in addition to value added tax (VAT). Thus, the highest rates of taxation are reflected in the retail prices. Governments that impose such strong barriers to the purchasing of tobacco are considered 'nanny states', with high levels of control on other factors, such as advertising, bans of tobacco products on retail displays and graphic warnings on cigarette packs. UK tobacco industry Consumer expenditure on tobacco in the UK has generally been decreasing since 2005. As of 2022, the annual expenditure was at about 21.3 billion British pounds, marking an overall decrease of over 40 percent compared to expenditure in 2005. However, despite the high taxes in the UK and the decrease in expenditure, the revenue of the tobacco industry is expected to grow in coming years. By 2029, the tobacco products market is forecast to have a revenue of almost 27 billion British pounds.
