Dear HM Revenue and Customs,

With reference to "Tax Avoidance:Written question - 152724" found here https://www.parliament.uk/business/publi...

Stride's answer says "HMRC is proactively reporting DR scheme promoters to the Advertising Standards Authority and professional bodies where they make misleading claims about their products and services or provide misleading advice."

Can you tell me how many DR scheme promoters have been reported to the ASA (or any historically equivalent agency) in each year 2000 to 2018?

Yours faithfully,

Chris Sawyer

Dear Mr Sawyer,

Freedom of Information Act 2000 Acknowledgement

Thank you for your communication of 21st 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
