Philip Davies – 2015 Parliamentary Question to the HM Treasury

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Philip Davies on 2015-10-13.

To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, what estimate he has made of the cost to the public purse of the work required to collect the revenue paid into the EU budget each year.

Mr David Gauke

HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) does not calculate separately the cost of collecting revenues paid over to the EU each year. Revenues paid over to the EU are funded through paying over a proportion of the customs duties and general taxation that are collected by HMRC.
