BUt if they are committing a crime does that not come under S29 - public funds etc. OR they could have someone living with them occasionally. Surely we are not there to be used as a Policeperson for the IR. The other aspect is that the sooner data sharing comes into play and the Govt puts proper guidelines/Acts in place, the sooner we will all know what we are or are not meant to disclose without committing an offence ourselves....this is a funny old subject!!!!

Following on from my last post, and having contacted the IR, I have been
told that they want to know if a person is receiving single person
discount and if not, who is living with them. As I stated before, they are
quoting the Tax Credit Act 2002 Schedule 5 as an exemption. My initial
reaction is to say no, as the Council Tax data could be inaccurate. Some
one could be claiming single person discount, have someone living with
them, but not have been found out yet. Council Tax had have a considerable
number of these requests.
