Tax income for central government and cost of servicing national debt

Reference: FOI-2024-1802

You asked

I will be grateful if you can give me two sets of figures:

1. The total tax income for the UK government, AND

2. The cost of servicing national debt.

I would like this information for each of the last 15 financial years (6.4 2008 to 5.4.23).
