HMRC collect £23.9bn
29.05.14
New figures show that HM Revenue & Customs collected just under £24bn last year by increasing their investigations.
George Osborne set out to increase the tax yield in the 2013 Autumn Statement and the total acquired topped last year's amount by £3.2bn.
A huge £8bn was recouped from businesses, £2.7bn from tax avoidance schemes and £1bn from criminals.
"The staff of HMRC deserve credit for what they have done...the government has been very much backing HMRC. We put in place a reinvestment programme that has contributed to this increase in yield," Exchequer Secretary David Gauke told BBC Radio 4.
