The Welsh Revenue Authority (WRA) is named in The Official Statistics (Wales) Order 2017 as a body that produces official statistics, as defined by the Statistics and Registration Services Act 2007.
The Head of Data Analysis for the WRA grants pre-release access to WRA statistics.
1. Who has pre-release access to statistics in their final form
Pre-release access provides access to statistics in their final form before they are published. The rules governing who and why pre-release access is granted are set out in The Pre-release Access to Official Statistics (Wales) Order 2009.
Each of the recipients named on the pre-release access list signs a declaration confirming:
- they require access for their official functions
- they will comply to the conditions of pre-release access
Pre-release access to WRA statistics is provided 24 hours before the statistics are made publicly available.
2. Who has pre-release access for production purposes
Pre-release access is also given to a small number of people who are involved in producing the statistical publication. This includes:
- WRA statisticians
- translators
- secretaries (who have access to a mailbox of a recipient listed below)
- web publishing teams
Those who receive access for production purposes sign similar declarations, but they are not included on the list below.
