	question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answers by Baroness Penn on 7 February (HL5670 and HL5671), what assessment they have made of the impact of the Protocol on Ireland/Northern Ireland on the levels of smuggling of red diesel across the border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland.
	tabling member printed	Lord Rogan
	uin	HL6144
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/02/2022 answer text <p>The Government has not made such an assessment.</p><p> </p><p>HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) produces an annual estimate of the tax gap across all taxes and duties administered by HMRC. This is the difference between the amount of tax that should in theory be collected, and what is actually paid. In HMRC’s latest report, the Northern Ireland diesel illicit market share is estimated at 4% in 2019 to 2020. This resulted in an estimated loss of £20 million in duty and a further £10 million in VAT, giving a total loss of £30 million. These estimates cannot be disaggregated by type of fraud such as smuggling.</p><p> </p><p>HMRC continues to work in partnership with other enforcement agencies including the Revenue Commissioners in Ireland to tackle this risk. This extensive multi-agency, cross border cooperation is a key element of HMRC’s operational response and commitment to tackling fuel duty fraud.</p> answering member printed Baroness Penn question first answered 22/02/2022 12:13:05 answering member 4726 label Biography information for Baroness Penn

	question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Baroness Penn on 8 February (HL5672), whether HMRC intends to start recording the fraudulent use of red diesel in the UK as a specific offence when the law for the use rebated fuel changes on 1 April; and if not, why not.
	tabling member printed	Lord Rogan
	uin	HL6188
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/02/2022 answer text <p>HMRC records all occasions where rebated fuel is found being used in circumstances not permitted by legislation. As detections of misuse are confirmed by the formal identification of Government markers and dyes, some of which are common to all types of rebated fuel including those used in EU states, it is not possible to identify specific red diesel offences. Samples analysed by HMRC can contain a mixture of these markers and dyes, therefore, it is often not possible to identify misuse by rebated fuel type.</p> answering member printed Baroness Penn question first answered 23/02/2022 15:37:30 answering member 4726 label Biography information for Baroness Penn
