Taxation: Unauthorised Disclosure
- Question
- asked Her Majesty's Government:On how many occasions since 1997 HM Revenue and Customs or the Inland Revenue have either compensated or come to a tax settlement with an individual taxpayer in relation to the unauthorised disclosure of personal or corporate tax information by an officer or former officer in breach of the Official Secrets Act and codes of conduct or practice for officers of HM Revenue and Customs or the Inland Revenue.

Neither HMRC nor the Inland Revenue hold records of tax settlements or compensation payments detailing the information requested. Since April 2005 when HMRC was formed, the department is unaware of any settlements or payments resulting from a breach of the Official Secrets Act 1989.
