All
Just checking the Notification and as we all know we are frequently being
asked for personal data by various organisations but in particular, I note
that the standard template for both Assessment & Collection of Taxes and
Other Revenue and Benefits, Grants & Loans Administration does not include
disclosures for Inland Revenue.
I have been asked for confirmation to disclose third party information from
Council Tax to the IR under Section 18a(2) Taxes Management Act 1970 - they
wish to have information on certain Bands of Ratepayers....Unfortunately, am
not an expert on the Taxes Management Act and have advised to go to Legal
but am becoming increasingly concerned about access being given to records
through different Acts being quoted.
Is it not about time we had a list of which legislation overrides Data
Protection although Council Tax obviously comes under the Local Government
Finance Act but we still have to apply the principles. Should we be
approaching the IC for advice on this or will this information become clear
once the LCD have compiled their report on Data Sharing.
Regards
Doreen Broom
