No Record of 10,000 Lost Counter Avoidance Files


At the beginning of March I raised an FOI with HMRC over the loss of 10,000 counter avoidance files in 2014.

They have responded thusly:
"Following a review of our records, I have established that HMRC does not hold the
information you requested. 


There is no record of any data losses in Counter-Avoidance Directorate reported to the scale referenced in your request."
A well worded response ;).

Tax does have to be taxing.

  1. In short no one told us it was lost so we have no record, great job there counter avoidance... I also note their silence on all the other questions you asked about what system they have to track avoirance cases. Under the law they are obligided to be helpful and answer as much as they can. They havent here. I'd refer this to ICO for a review Ken.

  2. Will Humpries take note. That question caused carnage in HMRC. No manager there had the guts to say it didn't happen. Wrexham and Bootle CS colleagues, if this didn't happen then please tell!
