Question to the HM Treasury:
To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, what payments have accrued to the Exchequer from the New Covent Garden Market Authority in the last five years.
HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) is legally prohibited from discussing the tax affairs of identifiable businesses.
Section 18 of the Commissioners for Revenue & Customs Act 2005 imposes a duty of confidentiality upon officers of HMRC which means they are unable to disclose information which relates to functions of HMRC.
However, please let me assure you that HMRC is fully committed to ensuring that everyone pays the tax that is due.
