The estimated net receipt of income tax in the year ended 31 December 1983 was £1,660.6 million.
It is not possible to isolate the cost of collecting income tax from the overall cost of the administration of the Inland Revenue duties as a whole. For the year 1981, the latest year for which statistics are available, the cost of administering Inland Revenue duties is estimated at 1.9 per cent of the net receipts of those duties (£2,150.0 million) in that year.
