Conclusion
HMRC must set out how the collection of employee hours data falls within the stated purposes of being for “the collection and management of the listed taxes”, as specified in the draft legislation for Finance Bill 2023–24. If the Government wishes HMRC to collect data that is not directly necessary for these purposes, this should be specifically legislated for, following a full consultation to consider the implications of such an extension of HMRC’s powers.
