Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, pursuant to the Answer of 13 June 2022 to Question 14571 on Tax Avoidance, what proportion of the individuals who have enquiries open have received correspondence from HMRC in the last 12 months, either to open the enquiry or to update them on their position.

I refer my hon. Friend to the answer that was given on 13 June 2022 to UIN 14571. All taxpayers with open enquiries should have received correspondence from HMRC in the last 12 months, either to open the enquiry or to update them on their position.

HMRC wants to help taxpayers get out of tax avoidance schemes as soon as possible.
