Exchequer receipts from corporation tax as a percentage of total Exchequer tax receipts in each of the past five years were:

%
2000 14.4
2001 14.9
2002 16.4
2003 16.1
2004 15.0

This data reflects, among other things, the effect of transitional arrangements for bringing forward the payment of corporation tax to a current year basis over five years since 2002. That effect can be expected to decline as the full transition is completed.
