To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, how many applications HMRC has received from people asking to redact their information from the UK’s tax information exchange agreements in the last 10 years.
Answered on
11 May 2023
HMRC takes secrecy provisions of tax information exchange agreements very seriously and has procedures for dealing with any case of actual or suspected violation. Such incidents are very rare. Appropriate action will depend on the facts and circumstances of the case and can include suspension of the relevant tax information exchange agreement.
In the last ten years HMRC has received no applications from individuals or companies asking to redact information on human rights grounds.

Named day questions only occur in the House of Commons. The MP tabling the question specifies the date on which they should receive an answer. MPs may not table more than five named day questions on a single day.
