Public Accounts Committee

2011 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Chapter 11: VAT on Intra-Community Trade

11:30 am

Ms Josephine Feehily:

Certainly one of the areas that was behind profile in April was VAT. Profile is a forecast. Working from memory, I think they were slightly ahead of last year's figures, which is a different way of measuring it. One month's figures does not make a trend. It is too soon to say. The general view is that we are on target.
