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 a processing error relating to the dataset “The effects of taxes and benefits on household income” for financial year ending 2022. An error was identified in self-employment income, cash benefits and indirect taxes microdata, impacting a range of published tables. After correcting this minor error, revised UK final income remains within 0.3% of previously reported values. “Effects of taxes and benefits on UK household income: financial year ending 2022” headline statistics show a revised median household final income of £38,200 (up from previously reported £38,100), and that richest fifth of people in FYE 2022 paid 9.8% of equivalised disposable income on indirect taxes (up from previously reported 9.0%). We apologise for any inconvenience, data tables and main points have now been corrected.
