Breakdown of indirect tax figures by income deciles

The request was successful.

Dear Office for National Statistics,

Further to the Parliamentary Question answered on 4 March and published at http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa... can you please provide me with a breakdown which, for each of the deciles and for both retired and non-retired categories, shows the figures for duties on alcoholic drinks, tobacco, petrol, oil, betting; VAT; customs (import) duties; motor vehicle duties; air passenger duties; insurance premium tax; driving licenses; television licenses; stamp duties; Camelot-payments to National Lottery Distribution Fund, and estimated Intermediate taxes separately.

(In other words, please show how the totals produced in that table are made up from the component parts.)

Thank you.

Yours faithfully,

Mark Pack

Dear Office for National Statistics,

I've not yet received a reply to my freedom of information request, and by my calculation the law required you to have responded by 12 May.

So could you please let me know what is happening with the request?

Thank you.

Yours faithfully,

Mark Pack
