These statistics are part of the collection ‘Tax relief statistics’.

The tables on this page provide estimates of the revenue costs for some of the structural tax reliefs.

Where it has been possible, cost estimates are provided for the 6-year period between the 2018 to 2019 tax year and the 2022 to 2023 tax year. The figures for 2023 to 2024 are in all cases forecasts from previous years’ actual data.

Some structural reliefs where cost estimates are unavailable are listed separately.

These figures fall outside the scope of National Statistics.

Previous versions of statistics releases are available on the National Archives website.

  12. The table published on 23rd January has been revised because of a minor error, which has a small and limited impact to a couple of estimates. Specifically for the reduced rate of VAT on smoking cessation products, the reduced rate of VAT on women's sanitary products and the zero rate of VAT on cycle helmets in years 2016-17 and 2017-18, as they had estimates in the wrong order. This occurred due to a processing error and the revisions do not affect any other figures in the publication. Further Quality Assurance measures have been built in to avoid this reoccurring
