<p>The information requested falls under the remit of the UK Statistics Authority.
I have, therefore, asked the Authority to respond.</p><p> </p><p><strong>Professor
Sir Ian Diamond | National Statistician</strong></p><p>Kenny MacAskill MP<br>House
of Commons<br>London<br>SW1A 0AA</p><p>20 October 2021</p><p>Dear Mr MacAskill,</p><p>As
National Statistician and Chief Executive of the UK Statistics Authority, I am responding
to your Parliamentary Question asking what the tax revenues raised in Scotland were
from (a) tax on dividends, (b) corporation tax and (c) capital gains tax in each of
the last 10 years (58513); and how much tax revenue was raised from the (a) North
East and (b) South East region of England from (a) tax on dividends, (b) corporation
tax and (c) capital gains tax in each of the last 10 years (58514).</p><p>Tax revenues
by region of the UK are published annually by the Office for National Statistics as
part of the Country and Regional Public Sector Finances (CRPSF)<sup>1</sup>, and these
include estimates for corporation tax and capital gains tax. Taxes on dividends are
not presented separately within the CRPSF publication and are instead included within
estimates of income tax. A breakdown of taxes on dividends is unavailable. I further
note that corporation tax amounts quoted exclude Offshore / North Sea corporation
tax. Therefore, a table showing income tax, corporation tax, capital gains tax and
offshore corporation tax receipts for Scotland, the North East, and the South East
for financial years 2010/11 to 2019/20 has been provided.</p><p>Yours sincerely,</p><p>Professor
Sir Ian Diamond</p><p>1 <a href="https://www.ons.gov.uk/releases/countryandregionalpublicsectorfinancesfinancialyearending2020"
