HMRC protected £2.5bn tax as a result of tribunal cases found in its favour in 2018-19.

In 2018-19 £389m was protected as a result of direct tax cases which were found in HMRC’s favour. In these cases, tax is not normally payable until the outcome of the appeal. In 2018-19 £2.1bn was retained as a result of successful indirect tax cases in the tribunals.
