HMRC recognises that understanding the nature of enquiries from hon. Members, including those relating to overpaid or overcharged tax and whether they resulted in repayment, could provide useful insight. While no formal assessment has been undertaken, HMRC keeps its data capabilities under review to ensure they can respond effectively to stakeholder needs.
