Provides files to download data as it existed for this dataset on previous dates.

Statistics are most often revised for 1 of 2 reasons:

  1. For certain statistics initial estimates are released with the expectation that these may be revised and updated as further data becomes available.
  2. Revisions may also be made when methods or systems are changed.

These types of planned revisions should not be confused with errors in released statistics, which are genuine mistakes. Such mistakes occur rarely and, when they do happen, corrections are made in a timely manner, announced and clearly explained to users in line with the Code of Practice for Official Statistics (Principle 2, Practice 7).

Ongoing quality assurance identified an error in the underlying survey microdata relating to the dataset “The effects of taxes and benefits on household income: disposable income estimate” for financial year ending 2022. An error was identified in self-employment income and cash benefits microdata, impacting a range of published tables. After correcting this minor error, revised UK household disposable income remains within 0.3% of previously reported values. “Average Household Income, UK, financial year ending 2022” headline statistics show a revised median household income of £32,400 (up from the previously reported £32,300) and “Average Household Inequality, UK, financial year ending 2022” show a revised Gini coefficient for disposable income of 35.5% (originally reported as 35.7%).
