This consultation is about a proposal to extend HMRC’s bulk data-gathering powers to include customer data held by money service businesses (MSBs). This data will help HMRC to identify non-compliant customers trading in the hidden economy.
The consultation invites views on the proposal and options for implementation, to ensure that it addresses the exploitation of MSBs by non-compliant customers to hide undeclared income, and minimises the compliance burdens on MSBs.
