Dear HM Revenue and Customs,

I would like to know number of individuals claiming the rent a room tax break. I would like this split into higher and lower rate tax payers and the total cost of tax breaks given to those two groups. My preference would be to receive figures to the smallest geographic unit you publish. If you have historic data for previous years then that would be great fully appreciated.

Yours faithfully,

Dear Mr Humphrey,

Freedom of Information Act 2000 Acknowledgement

Thank you for your communication of 28th June 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
