It is not possible to isolate the cost of collecting capital gains tax and capital acquisitions tax from the overall cost of the administration of the inland revenue duties as a whole without undertaking an inquiry which could be carried out only at a disproportionate cost. For the year 1986, the latest year for which statistics are available, the estimated cost of administering inland revenue duties was £75.5 million which is 1.7 per cent of the net receipt of those duties in that year.
