answer text <p>This Government is clear that everyone has a responsibility to pay the tax that is owed. HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) cannot comment on individual cases, but it will investigate any allegations of wrongdoing brought to its attention. Since 2010, HMRC has generated more than £160 billion of additional yield from tackling tax avoidance, evasion and non-compliance.</p> more like this

answer text <p>The nature of the access to the EU single market that firms in countries outside the EU have when exporting to the EU depends on the nature of any trade agreements they might have with the EU. Any products and services they sell in the single market would have to comply with the EU and, where appropriate, Member State specific rules and requirements to do so, including payment of tariffs. In some cases, sanctions or other restrictions may be imposed thereby preventing, or limiting, access to the single market.</p><p>Data are not available from a single source for exports of goods and services combined. China is the only country outside the EU that exports more goods to the EU than the UK does. The United States is the only country outside the EU that exports more services to the EU than the UK does.</p><p><strong>(Source: Eurostat Comext International Trade in Goods and International Trade in Services databases)</strong></p> more like this

answer text <p>The Government does not produce forecasts of the number of children living in income poverty as the number of children in poverty is dependent on factors which cannot be reliably predicted, such as the median income.</p><p> </p><p>The Government does measure annual child poverty statistics through the National Statistics Households Below Average Income (HBAI) series. Estimates of the number and proportion of children in relative and absolute low income in the UK have consistently been reported since 1998/99; these are available for each financial year up to 2012/13, the latest period for which estimates are available.</p><p> </p><p>There has been no assessment of the impact on child poverty of the combined tax and benefit changes announced since May 2010. Available survey data does not allow the Government to robustly assess the combined effects of tax and benefit policy on households with children.</p><p> </p><p>However, this Government has taken unprecedented steps to assess the effects of its policy decisions across the distribution of household income, by publishing analysis of the cumulative effects of the tax and welfare measures announced at each fiscal event since the June Budget 2010. The latest analysis can be found in Chapter 2 of the attached report.</p>
