HMRC requests for information from UBER

The request was refused by HM Revenue and Customs.

Dear HM Revenue and Customs,

Under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 I would like to request the following.

What driver partner information has been requested and obtained by HMRC under Schedule 23 FA 2011, from UBER BV (the data holder), as part of its efforts in ensuring tax compliance via third party information sharing, in line with HMRC's projected plans, consultation and publications?

Please advise as to:

a) the scope and range of the information obtained,

b) if the information obtained is in bulk of all driver partners of UBER BV,

and

c) the specific information contained within the data requested and received.

Yours faithfully,

Len Nesbitt

Dear Len Nesbitt,

Freedom of Information Act 2000 Acknowledgement

Thank you for your communication of 21st January which has been passed to
HMRC's Freedom of Information Team.

We have allocated the above reference which you should quote if you need
to contact us.

The Team will arrange for a reply to be sent to you which will either
comply with HMRC's obligations under Freedom of Information Act or, if we
think it's an enquiry that we don't need to address under the terms of the
Act, let you know why. If it is the latter we will, if possible, pass it
on to a more appropriate part of the Department for answer.

Yours sincerely

HMRC Freedom of Information Act Team
