Official statistics announcement

Child Benefit or Child Tax Credit estimates for children residing in a non-UK EEA country (withdrawn)

Users are advised that the experimental statistics release “Child Benefit or Child Tax Credit estimates for children residing in a non-UK EEA country” has been withdrawn due to data quality issues. This ad-hoc release was published in August 2019 and was based on a data snapshot at February 2019. It was the intention to publish further statistics for later years, however, after investigation we have found the data, which is used for operational purposes, does not meet data quality standards needed to produce robust official statistics and therefore, no further releases will be produced. Users who have specific questions, including on earlier use of the statistics before they were withdrawn, can contact us here: benefitsandcredits.analysis@hmrc.gov.uk

These statistics will be released between August and September 2021
