A detailed breakdown of the block grant funding for each of the devolved administrations is available in the Block Grant Transparency publication which is available on line at:<\/p>
<\/p>
https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/block-grant-transparency-december-2018<\/p>
<\/p>
This recently developed publication sets out how the block grants for the Scottish Government, Welsh Government and a Northern Ireland Executive have been calculated during the 2015 Spending Review period.<\/p>
<\/p>
Prior to the publication of the Block Grant Transparency document, the Annual Reports of the Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland Offices each contained data relating to the composition of the block grants.<\/p>

The government is committed to tackle avoidance, evasion and non-compliance at all levels and has introduced over 100 measures since 2010 which, alongside HMRC compliance work has protected over £200 billion in tax revenue which would have otherwise gone unpaid.<\/p>
<\/p>
Where tax avoidance is suspected HMRC investigates and challenges those arrangements, through litigation if necessary. HMRC wins around 90% of avoidance cases taken to litigation and has protected over £3 billion of tax in the last two years, with many more people settling their tax affairs before reaching this stage. Tax avoidance litigation decisions are published annually on GOV.UK.<\/p>
<\/p>
The marketplace for tax avoidance has shrunk considerably over recent years seeing the number of new schemes disclosed under the Disclosure of Tax Avoidance Schemes (DOTAS) regime fall by over 95% since 2005/06.<\/p>

HMRC raises awareness of tax avoidance schemes though its series of spotlight publications which are available on GOV.UK.<\/p>
