@alexcobham @AislingTax - makes sense - ...and include as part of HMRC 'tax gap' analysis?

@MForstater @AislingTax works for me - although govt everywhere highly resistant to giving costs of tax breaks, UK nondoms a case in point

@alexcobham @MForstater That's a fair point but even a "note in the accounts" helps clarify that data may not be all it seems

@AislingTax @MForstater indeed; tho there is no good reason to withhold the data in this case

@alexcobham @MForstater They don't have it would be my guess. Income not taxable is not reported on the return.

@AislingTax @MForstater yup - they barely had numbers of people for years. Would never spend so much, so opaquely on eg benefits. #uncounted

@alexcobham @MForstater They taxed it then it might not come into the tax net to begin with e.g. oligarchs move elsewhere

@AislingTax @MForstater that's certainly argument made by biz ministries across world as they resist calls to publish tax incentive costs
