Dear Colleagues

In addition to our Fiscal Facts guide to the UK tax system, a new section on our website now lists the main UK benefits, with details of rates and allowances, numbers of claimants and expenditure levels since 1948. You can find this at:

http://www.ifs.org.uk/taxsystem/contentsben.shtml

Also new on the site is a briefing note about the benefit system: http://www.ifs.org.uk/taxsystem/benefitsurvey.pdf

Let me know if you have a question about these or anything else on the site.
Best wishes
