uin	219928
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/01/2015 answer text <p>HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) routinely shares information with other tax administrations; this is normal practice and is one of many tools HMRC uses when enquiring into tax avoidance. Where risks are identified HMRC will challenge these robustly. HMRC have a legal duty of confidentiality which limits the information they can disclose, including to ministers. I therefore cannot provide any further information about the subject of any enquiries which they may make.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency South West Hertfordshire answering member printed Mr David Gauke question first answered 08/01/2015 16:39:40 answering member 1529 label Biography information for Mr David Gauke
