Database access by other Government bodies

The request was successful.

Dear HM Revenue and Customs,

I'm particularly interested in the level of instant access an employee of other government department has (e.g. -- a home office immigration caseworker) to HMRC's database about an individual's SA302 calculations or PAYE contributions etc!

And if they do have an access then does HMRC maintain a separate database to give them access to or is it the same database that an HMRC employee would have access to?

Whatever database they might have instant access to (if at all), when was that database last updated?
Would appreciate your reply
Yours faithfully,
