Question to the HM Treasury:
To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, what value of penalties due by companies for failing to submit a corporation tax return was outstanding at the end of (a) 2012-13, (b) 2013-14, (c) 2014-15, (d) 2015-16 and (e) 2016-17.
HMRC do not separately estimate the tax gap due to companies being struck off. However, the HMRC Trust Statement contains figures for tax written off each year. Around 90% of the amounts written off relate to insolvencies.
The remainder of the information requested is not held centrally by HMRC.
