answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/07/2014 answer text <p>The main purpose of child benefit and the child tax credit is to support families in the UK.

HMRC does measure the tax gap for fuel, published in the document at the link below. In Northern Ireland (NI) this has in the past included cross border shopping but in October 2013 HMRC for the first time published an estimate of the illicit market share for fuel in Northern Ireland for the period 2011-12, at 12-13% for diesel and negligible for petrol.</p><p> </p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/measuring-tax-gaps-tables" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/measuring-tax-gaps-tables</a></p><p> </p><p>HMRC contribute and support the multi-agency approach to organised crime in NI as detailed in the Organised Crime Strategy 2014 published by the Department of Justice NI and reproduced in the link below:</p><p> </p><p><a href="http://www.dojni.gov.uk/index/publications/publication-categories/pubs-policing-community-safety/community-safety/organised-crime/organised-crime-strategy-2014.htm" target="_blank">http://www.dojni.gov.uk/index/publications/publication-categories/pubs-policing-community-safety/community-safety/organised-crime/organised-crime-strategy-2014.htm</a></p><p> </p><p>HMRC fights fraud on a wide range of fronts, from special units performing thousands of roadside checks to raiding laundering plants. The UK has recently announced, jointly with Ireland, an improved new marker for rebated fuel, which will make it much harder to launder marked fuel and sell it at a profit.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Witham answering member printed Priti Patel question first answered 17/07/2014 14:27:40 answering member 4066 label Biography information for Priti Patel
