LabourHayes and Harlington

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what the total value was of dividend payments made to Tonnage Tax qualifying companies by companies not resident in the UK for tax purposes in each year since 2003-04 to date.

Answer

Dan Tomlinson
The information required is not readily available. Most dividends from non-UK resident companies are exempt in any event and tax risk is accordingly low.
