Non-domiciled UK Taxpayers

Volume 458: debated on Wednesday 28 March 2007

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what investigations he undertakes into the income and assets held overseas by non-domiciled UK taxpayers. (129969)

Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (HMRC) carries out investigations into the income and assets held overseas by UK resident non-domiciled taxpayers where this may be relevant to their UK tax liability. Such investigations may occur to verify information given to HMRC by individuals completing self-assessment tax returns or making other claims for non-domiciled status; as a result of third-party disclosure; or because of the outcome of other HMRC inquiries.

No information is available on the number of investigations undertaken by HMRC.
