It is not possible to be definitive on corporation tax receipts at this stage as almost one third of the 2004 yield is currently due in. As of end-October, we were just under 2% behind target but this could be due to timing effects rather than a conclusive indication of any particular underlying shortfall. We will be better able to assess the true position shortly.
