Mr. Wigley
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what revenue was raised from (a) VAT and (b) income tax in Wales in 1994–95; and what is his estimate for revenue from (a) and (b) for 1996–97. [5955]
Mr. Jack
Consumer spending in Wales on goods and services subject to VAT is a little under 5 per cent. of the United Kingdom total. On this basis, VAT in Wales was about £1.8 billion in 1993–94 and £2 billion in 1994–95. The income tax liability for residents of Wales was around £2.3 billion in 1993–94, excluding the impact of mortgage interest relief at source. Estimates are not available for later years.
