Dear Mr Martin
Freedom of Information Act 2000: Inland Revenue Criteria
Thank you for your Freedom of Information request dated 04 June 2009. I am
treating your request under the Act 2000.
You asked –
• What are the criteria which have been used by Inland Revenue Inspectors in
the past five years when assessing the tax liability due from (a) allowances
paid to Members of Parliament and (b) expenses claimed by Members of
Parliament.
I can confirm that HM Treasury does not hold information in scope of your request.
This information would more likely be held by Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs,
who are a separate public authority under the FoI Act. You make a request to them
via the following link:
