	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/07/2014 answer text <p>HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) published the research ‘Report on use of non-financial credit VAT registration data in trade credit scoring’ on 25 June 2014. This can be found at <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/sharing-and-publishing-data-for-public-benefit" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/sharing-and-publishing-data-for-public-benefit</a>. The report demonstrated that a controlled release of non-financial VAT registration data would have significant benefits for business in securing additional trade credit. Provisions to enable this are now in the Small Business, Enterprise and Employment Bill currently before Parliament.</p><p> </p><p>The research report also identified that there may be benefits for HMRC in such data sharing although, without further work, it was not possible to quantify these. HMRC will consider how to follow up this work.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency South West Hertfordshire answering member printed Mr David Gauke question first answered 21/07/2014 15:33:18 answering member 1529 label Biography information for Mr David Gauke
