Julie Cooper – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the HM Treasury

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Julie Cooper on 2016-02-01.

To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, how many tax investigations by the HM Revenue and Customs Large Business Service resulted in no additional tax due at the time of their conclusion in each of the last three years; and for how long each such investigation lasted.

Mr David Gauke

HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) does not publish this information. Since 2010, HMRC has brought in over £38 billion by effectively policing the tax rules as they apply to large businesses. This includes £7.3 billion from large businesses in 2014/15 alone.
