Where can I get information about the governments tax revenues (i.e. how many billions they get each month or quarter)?

Ideally a history of the figures would be nice so I can see fluctuations over time.

Might be on the NAO website somewhere.

Perhaps the audit commission via Freedom of Information?

Or they don't want you to know so they can carry on spending on wasteful rubbish.

Amazing how they can spend so much more than they collect in tax.

Darling must be some sort of magician. wink

The best I've found so far but not really what I was after. I'm guessing that as things get nasty in the economy people/businesses will earn less and hence pay less taxes. For example income from stamp duty must have dropped and a reduction in fuel prices will hurt the government to.

So somewhere I'm hoping to find a spreadsheet the shows government tax recipts falling off a cliff and all of Darlings budgets being ground into the dust.
