To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer
(1) whether he has examined the practice in other tax jurisdictions of publishing the tax returns of individuals; and if he will make a statement;
(2) what assessment he has made of the merits of publishing the tax returns of individual taxpayers.
The Government regularly monitor developments in other jurisdictions, including in jurisdictions where individual tax returns are published, such as Sweden and (in the case of elected officials) the United States. Tax returns of individuals contain confidential information and the UK Government have no plans to publish them.
