Acceptances Accrued Interest Advance and Progress Payments Affiliates Allocation of Sdrs Arbitrage Assets Associated Companies A Acceptances See ‘Bills and acceptances’. Accrued interest A method of recording transactions to relate them to the period when the exchange of ownership of the goods, services or financial asset applies. For example, value added tax accrues when the expenditure to which it relates takes place, but HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) receive the cash some time later. The difference between accruals and cash results in the creation of an asset and liability in the financial accounts, shown as amounts receivable or payable. Advance and progress payments Payments made for goods in advance of completion and delivery of the goods. Affiliates Branches, subsidiaries or associate companies. Allocation of SDRs See ‘Special Drawing Rights’. Arbitrage A technique of deriving profit with little or no risk of loss by exploiting temporary misalignments in the price of financial instruments, or of one instrument in different markets. Assets This term commonly refers to financial assets that are claims on non-residents, from whose point of view the same item is a liability to a UK resident. Among reserve assets, however, gold and SDRs have a value which exists independently of any corresponding liabilities. Real assets such as merchandise, although they may be entered in company accounts as assets, are seldom described as assets in balance of payments analysis. Associated companies Companies in which the investing company has a substantial equity interest (usually this means that it holds between 10 per cent and 50 per cent of the equity share capital) and is in a position to exercise a significant influence on the company. See also ‘Subsidiary’. B Balancing item See ‘Net errors and omissions’. Bank of England – Issue Department This part of the Bank of England deals with the issue of bank notes on behalf of central government. It was formerly classified to central government though it is now part of the central bank/monetary authorities sector. Its activities include, inter alia, market purchases of commercial bills from UK banks. Bank for International Settlements (BIS) An international organisation which fosters international monetary and financial co-operation and serves as a bank for central banks. The BIS fulfils this mandate by acting as: • a forum to promote discussion and policy analysis among central banks and within the international financial community • a centre for economic and monetary research • a prime counterparty for central banks in their financial transactions • agent or trustee in connection with international financial operations Established on 17 May 1930, the BIS is the world’s oldest international financial organisation, which has its head office based in Basel, Switzerland. The most recent BIS data used within the UK balance of payments accounts covers non- bank borrowing from banks in the following countries: Algeria, Argentina, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Brazil, Bulgaria, Canada, Chile, China, Colombia, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, European central bank, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hong Kong SAR, Hungary, Iceland, India, Indonesia, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Korea, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Macedonia (FYR), Malaysia, Mexico, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Peru, the Philippines, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Serbia, Singapore, Slovakia, Slovenia, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Thailand, Turkey, United Arab Emirates, the United Kingdom and the United States, plus the European Central Bank. The data used for balance of payments purposes are locational banking statistics on a residence basis. Banking statistics A term used in this publication to denote an integrated set of returns, covering all UK banks, and collected by the Bank of England. The returns were first introduced in late 1974 and during 1975. Since then, various reviews of the requirements of data from banks have been conducted and forms amended, introduced or dropped as necessary. The data collected cover all listed banks up to the end of 1981 and the revised group of institutions classified as UK banks from 1982 onwards. It collects, on a regular basis, extensive information relating to the levels of, and changes in, assets and liabilities. Revised banking returns were introduced from the end of 1997 to reflect the requirements of the IMF Balance of Payments Manual 5th edition and to remove the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man from the definition of the economic territory of the UK. Banks (UK) Banks are defined as all financial institutions recognised by the Bank of England as UK banks. For statistical purposes, this includes: • institutions which have a permission under Part 4 of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (FSMA) to accept deposits, other than: – credit unions – firms which have a permission to accept deposits only in the course of carrying out contracts of insurance in accordance with that permission, – friendly societies – building societies • European Economic Area credit institutions with a permission under Schedule 3 to FSMA to accept deposits through a UK branch • the Banking and Issue Departments of the Bank of England (the latter from April 1998) Prior to December 2001, banks were defined as all financial institutions recognised by the Bank of England as UK banks for statistical purposes, including the UK offices of institutions authorised under the Banking Act 1987, the Banking and Issue Departments of the Bank of England (the latter from April 1998), and deposit-taking UK branches of ‘European Authorised Institutions’. This includes UK branches of foreign banks, but not the offices abroad of these or of any British owned banks. An updated list of banks appears on the Bank of England Prudential Regulation Authority website. Bills and acceptances A bill is an unconditional order in writing addressed by the drawer to the drawee to pay the drawer a fixed sum on a specified date. A UK resident may draw a bill in sterling on a foreign resident representing credit extended by the UK resident to the foreign resident. If the UK resident sells the bill to a UK bank, generally at a price less than the nominal value of the bill, the bank is said to discount the bill, and the claim on the foreign resident is transferred to the UK bank. A bill is known as an acceptance when the drawee accepts the bill. A UK bank may accept a bill on behalf of a foreign resident in which case the UK resident draws the bill on the UK bank and not on the foreign resident. The accepting bank has a claim on the foreign resident and expects to be paid by him before the bill matures. Bond A financial instrument that usually pays interest to the holder. Bonds are issued by governments as well as companies and other institutions, for example, local authorities. Most bonds have a fixed date on which the borrower will repay the holder. Bonds are attractive to investors since they can be bought and sold easily in a secondary market. Special forms of bonds include deep discount bonds, equity warrant bonds, Eurobonds, and zero coupon bonds. BPM5 The Balance of Payments Manual, fifth edition, published in 1993 by the IMF. BPM6 The Balance of Payments Manual, sixth edition, published in 2009 updates the fifth edition, published in 1993. It serves as the standard framework for statistics on the transactions and positions between an economy and the rest of the world. A copy of the sixth edition can be found at: www.imf.org/external/pubs/ft/bop/2007/pdf/chap4.pdf Branch An unincorporated enterprise, wholly or jointly owned by a direct investor. British government stocks Securities issued or guaranteed by the UK government; also known as gilts. Building societies Building societies are mutual institutions specialising in accepting deposits from members of the public and in long-term lending to members of the public, mainly to finance the purchase of dwellings; such lending being secured on dwellings. Their operations are governed by special legislation which places restrictions on their recourse to other sources of funding and other avenues of investment. C Capital account The capital account consists of capital transfers (see ‘Capital’) and acquisition/disposal of non-produced, non-financial assets (see ’Non-produced, non-financial assets'). Capital transfers Transfers which are related to the acquisition or disposal of assets by the recipient or payer. They may be in cash or kind and may be imputed to reflect the assumption or forgiveness of debt. Certificate of deposit A short-term interest-paying instrument issued by deposit-taking institutions in return for money deposited for a fixed period. Interest is earned at a given rate. The instrument can be used as security for a loan if the depositor requires money before the repayment date. c.i.f. (cost, insurance and freight) The basis of valuation of imports for Customs purposes, it includes the cost of insurance premiums and freight services. These need to be deducted to obtain the free on board valuation consistent with the valuation of exports which is used in the economic accounts. Collective investment institution (CII) Incorporated (investment companies or investment trusts) and unincorporated undertakings (mutual funds or unit trusts) that invest the funds, collected from investors by means of issuing shares/units (other than equity), in financial assets (mainly marketable securities and bank deposits) and real estate. See also ‘Trusts’. Commercial paper This is an unsecured promissory note for a specific amount and maturing on a specific date. The commercial paper market allows companies to issue short-term debt direct to financial institutions who then market this paper to investors or use it for their own investment purposes. Commodity gold See ‘Gold’. Commonwealth Development Corporation A public corporation which finances development projects abroad. Compensation of employees Total remuneration payable to employees in cash or in kind, and includes the value of social contributions payable by the employer.

  • United Kingdom Information on Tax Identification Numbers
    Jurisdiction’s name: United Kingdom Information on Tax Identification Numbers Section I – TIN Description The United Kingdom does not issue TINs in a strict sense, but it does have two TIN-like numbers, which are not reported on official documents of identification: 1. The unique taxpayer reference (UTR). The format is a unique set of 10 numerals allocated automatically by HMRC for both individuals and entities who have to submit a tax return. Although used on tax returns and some other correspondence, the UTR is not evidenced on a card or other official document. 2. The other reference used in the UK, is the National Insurance Number (NINO). This consists of two letters, six numbers and a suffix letter A, B, C or D (for example DQ123456C). All individuals living regularly in the United Kingdom are either allocated or can be issued with a NINO. A NINO is issued automatically to young people living in the UK when they approach the age of 16. The NINO is used on a number of official documents. Individuals are notified of their NINO by an official letter, from the Department for Work and Pensions or HM Revenue and Customs. However this contains the statement, “This is not proof of identity” and therefore it cannot be used to verify the identity of the holder. The NINO can be quoted as the tax reference number on some official documents from HM Revenue and Customs. Both the UTR and NINO are personal and private to the party they are allocated to; they are fixed for ever and they are always in the same format.

Changes in the international price of oil affect government revenues from the corporate and household sectors. sales of fuel Taxes on oil production are estimated to increase by around 0.1% of GDP for every $10 increase in the oil price. The increase in tax revenue on profits from oil • But a number production is partly mitigated by the fall in profits of the oil-consuming industries. of offsets limit Nevertheless, even if the non-oil corporate sector were to absorb the entire increase the overall in production costs through a reduction in profit margins, the net impact on corporate budgetary taxation would remain non-negligible, at 0.05% of GDP. On the demand side, we impact estimate a weaker effect of changes in oil prices on taxation revenues in the UK, as the reduction in fuel duty revenues following an increase in the crude oil price would offset higher revenues from VAT. The estimates on the budgetary impact of changes in oil prices underline the role of taxation regimes on oil production and energy demand, as well as the effect of changes in oil prices on the distribution of profits across industrial sectors and on the composition of household spending.

  • Memorandum of Understanding Between Office for Budget Responsibility, HM Treasury, Department for Work and Pensions and HM Revenue & Customs
    Memorandum of Understanding between Office for Budget Responsibility, HM Treasury, Department for Work and Pensions and HM Revenue & Customs April 2011 Memorandum of Understanding between the Office for Budget Responsibility, HM Treasury, the Department for Work & Pensions and HM Revenue & Customs 1. The Budget Responsibility & National Audit Act 2011 establishes the Office for Budget Responsibility (‘the OBR’) as a central part of the UK’s fiscal framework, with responsibility for examining and reporting on the sustainability of the public finances. The OBR must be independent and expert—and perceived as such—in order to provide credible fiscal and economic forecasts and scrutiny of the long term sustainability of the public finances. 2. The OBR will provide essential analysis on which the Government can base its fiscal and economic policies. As such, for the OBR and the rest of Government to perform their respective functions effectively, close working will be essential. 3. This memorandum of understanding establishes a transparent framework for co- operation between the OBR and HM Treasury (‘the Treasury’), the Department of Work and Pensions (‘DWP’) and HM Revenue and Customs (‘HMRC’). This memorandum sets out the role of each body and how they will work together based on three guiding principles: • Accountability and transparency: the roles and responsibilities of each body must be clear and transparent, and respect the independence of the OBR; • Effective co-ordination: shared processes must be carefully ordered in response to the complex interdependencies of the four bodies; and • Regular information exchange: information must be shared regularly to enable each body to discharge its responsibilities effectively.

  • Estimates of the Remaining Exchequer Cost of Decommissioning UK Upstream Oil and Gas Infrastructure (July 2021)
    Estimates of the Remaining Exchequer Cost of Decommissioning UK Upstream Oil and Gas Infrastructure (July 2021) The Exchequer cost considered here arises from refunds of previously tax paid (when losses as a result of decommissioning expenditure are “carried back” against past profits) and lower levels of tax on current or future profits (which are reduced by current, carried forward or future decommissioning costs). The Oil Taxation Act 1975 allows participators in an oil and gas field liable to Petroleum Revenue Tax (PRT) to carry back losses almost indefinitely against profits it has previously made from the field or which previous participators in the field had made. This may result in the repayment of tax. With respect to Offshore Corporation Tax – comprised of Ring Fence Corporation Tax (RFCT) and Supplementary Charge (SC) – the Corporation Tax Act 2010 allows for a company’s decommissioning loss to be carried back against its own historical profits dating back to April 2002. Again, this may result in a repayment of tax. Exchequer liabilities from decommissioning The OGA has estimated that the total industry costs between 2020-21 and 2064-65 for decommissioning all UKCS oil and gas infrastructure are £51 billion.1 The Exchequer cost of tax relief from this expenditure currently projected by HMRC is £18.3 billion.2 This is made up of £9.4 billion3 from tax repayments and a reduction in Offshore Corporation Tax [i.e. RFCT plus SC] of £8.9 billion. Decommissioning expenditure reduces company profits and hence lowers the overall tax take. The estimates reported above are taken from HM Revenue and Customs Annual Report and Accounts 2019–20 (5 November 2020).

    GOVERNMENT EXPENDITURE & REVENUE SCOTLAND 2018-19 AUGUST 2019 CONTENTS Summary 2 Preface 9 Chapter 1 Public Sector Revenue 12 Chapter 2 North Sea Revenue 21 Chapter 3 Public Sector Expenditure 25 Chapter 4 Devolved Revenue and Expenditure 39 Annex A Supplementary Tables 46 Annex B Revisions 54 Annex C List of Abbreviations 62 Annex D Glossary 63 Government Expenditure and Revenue Scotland 2018-19 1 SUMMARY Introduction • Government Expenditure and Revenue Scotland (GERS) addresses three questions about Scotland’s public sector finances under the current constitutional arrangements: • What revenues were raised in Scotland? • How much did the country pay for the public services that were consumed? • To what extent did the revenues raised cover the costs of these public services? • GERS is a National Statistics publication. It is assessed by the independent UK Statistics Authority to ensure that it meets the Code of Practice for Statistics. • The estimates in GERS are consistent with the UK Public Sector Finances published in July 2019 by the Office for National Statistics (ONS). Feedback from users of the publication is welcome. A correspondence address is available in the back leaf of the publication. Comments can be emailed to [email protected]. Scotland’s Overall Fiscal Position • GERS provides two measures of Scotland’s fiscal position, the net fiscal balance and the current budget balance. • The net fiscal balance measures the difference between total public sector expenditure and public sector revenue. It therefore includes public sector capital investment, such as the construction of roads, hospitals, and schools, which yields benefits not just to current taxpayers but also to future taxpayers.
