answer text <p>No estimate has been made of the effects of VAT.</p><p>The Government recognises that tourism is vital for many coastal towns and an important part of the UK visitor economy. The 2013 Great Britain Tourism Survey estimated that day and overnight visits by British residents to the seaside brought £9.5bn of spending to coastal areas in 2013. Coastal towns also benefit from inbound visits. 2013 was a record year with 33m visits, resulting in £21bn of spend in the UK.</p><p> </p> more like this

answer text <p>HMRC does not measure the different forms of fuel fraud such as fuel laundering. 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>

answer text <p>As in my answer given on 28 April 2014, Column Reference 548W, HM Revenue &amp; Customs (HMRC) does not own any land, and does not have any un-encumbered freehold buildings within its estate. The only exceptions to this are freehold interests in five Grade 1 Listed buildings that are owned by HMRC. However, each of these is subject to encumbrances impacting value and market demand. These five are compromised of the following:</p><p> </p><p>· Three historic Custom Houses (London, Greenock &amp; Belfast) each of which is subject to a 175 lease from 2001with nil rent receivable. HMRC sold the virtual freehold interest in these properties in 2001.</p><p>· Darwin House in Shrewsbury is subject to a 175 year lease from 2001 with nil rent receivable. HMRC also sold the virtual freehold interest in these properties in 2001.</p><p>· 100 Parliament Street/ 1Horse Guards Road in London is subject to occupational rights to 2037 for the PFI provider, with nil rent receivable.</p><p> </p><p>HMRC does not plan to sell land or buildings in 2014/15.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>This position was previously stated and accepted in response to an enquiry made by the Homes and Community Agency in November 2013 on behalf of Cabinet Office (Government Property Unit) in relation to the Strategic Land and Property Review.</p>
