Financial institutions and data collection: HMRC guidance

printer Mail

HMRC has announced that it will not require financial institutions making ‘Type 17/18’ annual returns of interest to provide NI and other tax identification numbers for interest bearing accounts opened on or after 6 April 2013.

‘Representations have been received from the financial sector and HMRC accept that [FA 2011] Sch 23 does not empower financial institutions to collect such information,’ HMRC said in Revenue & Customs Brief 39/12. ‘Legislation will be required to empower the collection of such data. HMRC will discuss any such future legislation with the industry.’
