Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what contribution to the pubic purse has been made by non-EU citizens in employment via (a) National Insurance contributions, (b) income tax, and (c) indirect taxation in each of the last three years.

The table below shows the total Income Tax and National Insurance contributions (class 1 and class 4) paid by non-EU citizens in the tax years 2013-14, 2014-15 and 2015-16. Estimates for 2016-17 will be published as official statistics in August 2019. It is not possible to identify from indirect tax receipts how much was paid by non-EU nationals.

The estimates provided are based on HMRC’s Survey of Personal Incomes and HMRC’s records of individuals’ nationality at the point of registering for a National Insurance number. Nationality in this dataset does not update if the individual changes their nationality.

Equivalent statistics for EU and EEA nationals are published by HMRC: https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/income-tax-nics-tax-credits-and-child-benefit-statistics-for-eea-nationals-2015-to-2016

The estimates have been produced using the same methodology as for the published statistics on EEA nationals
