[FYI request #5068 email]
Dear Simon Bloomberg
On behalf of Gabriel Makhlouf, Secretary to the Treasury, I acknowledge receipt of
your letter requesting:
“Are our Regions included in total tax and spending data? if so may I please have
a breakdown of the region by region taxation vs spending.
An example might be that "Cantabrians per capita are taxed 20c on the dollar but
they receive 20c on the dollar through spending".”
Your request was received by the Treasury on 6 December 2016 and will be dealt with
in accordance with the provisions of the Official Information Act.
To confirm your eligibility to make a request under section 12 of the Official Information
Act, please reply by return email giving your personal email address. This will also
enable us to contact you promptly should clarification of your request be necessary.
Treasury will use the information you provide to establish your eligibility or clarify your
request. The information you provide will be subject to the requirements of the Privacy
Act 1993 and the Official Information Act 1982.
Yours sincerely
Lucy May
Lucy May
