HM Revenue and Customs does not hold information on VAT revenue from specific products, including VAT on disposable vapes. This is because businesses are not required to provide figures at a product level within their VAT returns, as this would impose an excessive administrative burden.</p> answering member constituency Mid Worcestershire answering member printed Nigel Huddleston question first answered 12/02/2024 16:17:35 answering member 4407 label Biography information for Nigel Huddleston
