Answered by Dan Tomlinson
HMRC does not routinely share compliance data where its disclosure may undermine current or future enforcement action.
HMRC takes a risk and intelligence-based approach to enforcement of trade obligations relating to the movement of goods.
Since the introduction of the arrangements concerning goods movements into and out of Northern Ireland, HMRC has worked closely with the Trader Support Service (TSS) to ensure that traders understand their obligations, are offered support to meet them, and that proportionate steps are taken to enforce their compliance.
