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).

An error was discovered in the code that produces some of our reference tables, which meant some figures had been underestimated. The reference tables have been corrected; the error does not affect any of the key messages or other tables. Following user feedback, we have changed the ordering of the reference tables and included further analysis to show the impact on income tax where deferred lump sum payments are excluded from direct tax estimates.
