Dear Scottish Government,

£11,153 = GERS
Corp Tax on-shore
£3,322 = HMRC

GERS (table 1.1)

Why the massive difference between official HMRC statistics and GERS?
The Scottish government according to FOI request ( https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/g... ) confirmed GERS is compiled by The Scottish government and is not obliged to publish GERS!
Is it intended to cancel GERS 2020?
Below your answers to a number of related FOI requests and SNP press release which depended on GERS revenue totals being fit for purpose!
£45bn spend by Scottish government ( https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/s... )
£18bn social security by UK government ( https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/s... )
SNP press release ( https://www.snp.org/gers-figures-explain... ) confirming Scotland raised £63bn (of which £45bn spent by Scottish government & £18bn UK government on social security)

I will be raising a FOI request about underestimating expenditure by £800m in due course.
