Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, where he plans digital tax accounts will be held; how he plans to protect such accounts against cyber attacks; and what safeguards he plans to put in place for those accounts to protect privacy.

The digital tax accounts will be accessible through Gov.UK and are therefore protected by the strong security built into that product to protect the accounts from cyber attacks. For anyone to access the digital accounts they will have to have authenticated their identity through the Government Gateway process or by the Verify route. These robust identity checks will enable customers to securely access their data within their account.
