About these figures

Receipts are cash receipts in £ million as HMRC records them, by financial year (April to March). Figures for the latest year are provisional and are revised as HMRC receives more information. The share is each tax's receipts divided by total HMRC receipts for the same year. Taxpayer counts come from separate HMRC statistics and are not always on the same year basis.

Also see tax rates and thresholds by year and public spending.
