answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/12/2014 answer text <p>The majority of trusts are non-taxpaying and therefore are not required to submit a tax return.

In addition, by collating and analysing data received from various sources, HMRC ensure targeted enforcement through robust risk assessment processes to identify employers across the United Kingdom who are more likely to be not paying NMW.</p><p> </p><p>I would refer the hon.
