Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what estimate he has made of the potential cost to the public purse of categorising uniforms as zero-rated for VAT.

The requested information on VAT revenues is not available. HMRC does not hold information on VAT revenue from specific products because businesses are not required to provide figures at a product level on their VAT returns, as this would impose an excessive administrative burden.
