Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, how much funding the Scottish Government (a) has received and (b) is forecast to receive in additional Barnett Formula consequential funding as a result of income raised via the Residential Property Developer Tax.

Answered by Darren Jones - Chief Secretary to the Treasury

The Residential Property Developer Tax is a UK-wide tax. UK-wide tax revenue goes into the UK Consolidated Fund.
