GERS 2020 - incorrect tobacco revenues! - when will GERS 2020 be corrected and republished?
Dear Scottish Government,
GERS 2020 uses a figure of
£9.692 billion tobacco revenues UK 2019-20, which conflict's with HMRC figure of
£8.803 billion.
https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk...
I note
Table A.5 Confidence intervals around survey based apportionments: Scotland
Tobacco duties
Range +/-21
Range(%) +/-1.7%
?
I find it unbelievable that GERS allocated a share of tobacco revenue 56% higher than Scotland's population share!
The figures as allocated to Scotland in GERS point to a revenue ratio of
for every
£1 tobacco duty in Scotland (with 8% of UK population) .rUK raises
£7 (based on population ration it would be £11)
FOI request:
When is it intended to recalculate and republish GERS 2020 with corrected figures updated in ALL corresponding tables?
Yours faithfully,
Manfred Stobartson
