Tax outturn data is the monthly tax revenue and receipts from collecting departments.
Tax data are sometimes difficult to interpret as economic indicators, but tax outturns are among the earliest data available about the state of the economy. The Government has decided that it is important that this information about the economy should be available to market analysts, and the general public, as soon as possible.
Monthly tax outturn data are published here usually just over six weeks after the end of the month, shortly after they are reported to Ministers.
