Supplementary notes

The tax gap is the difference between the amount of tax due to the government and the amount actually collected. The taxes associated with tobacco include VAT and duty.
Figures are HMRC mid-point estimates and should be interpreted as an indicator of long-term trends rather than a precise estimate of year-to-year changes. Figures are independently rounded to the nearest 100 million British pounds.
Losses are based on the Weighted Average Price (WAP) of all UK duty paid cigarettes.
