Taxation: Arms Trade

Sarah Teather
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what the (a) monetary value and (b) revenue to the Exchequer from taxation of British arms exports to Israel was in each of the last five years.

Mr. Timms
There are no export taxes, duties or levies in force on goods exported from the UK.

The value of exports of military equipment to all destinations is published in the UK’s Strategic Export Controls Annual Reports, which are available on the Foreign and Commonwealth Office’s website at:
