HM Treasury publishes distributional analysis of the cumulative impact of the Government’s tax, welfare, and public service spending decisions at each fiscal event, the latest of which can be found here:
The Government publishes Tax Information and Impact notes (TIINs) for all tax policy changes. TIINs provide an explanation of the policy objective together with details of the tax impact on the Exchequer, the economy, individuals, businesses, civil society organisations, as well as any equality or other specific area of impact. All TIINs, including those for the Budget 2016 changes to Capital Gains Tax, can be found here:
