Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, how many value added tax registrations there were in each deprivation decile in each (a) parliamentary constituency and (b) ward in Scotland in each year since 2019.

The requested information on Value Added Tax (VAT) registrations by deprivation decile is not available. HMRC does not publish any VAT statistics containing geographic breakdowns. This is because VAT registrations can have both single and multiple sites, and therefore such breakdowns would be of limited value.
