§ Mr. YeoTo ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will list the forms that his Department requires private sector businesses to complete and return. [98089]
§ Ruth KellyThe Treasury does not require private sector businesses to complete and return any forms, although the Debt Management Office, an executive agency of the Treasury, requires the 16 investment banks that act as Gilt-edged Market Makers (GEMMs) to report weekly on their turnover in gilts. This data is then aggregated and sent to the GEMMs so they can assess their gilt market share.
It would be impractical to list all forms the Inland Revenue uses, although Inland Revenue business forms are available on their website: www.inlandrevenue.gov.uk. However, the Inland Revenue database does not 839W differentiate between forms for completion and return and material on guidance for operating PAYE and/or tax credits.
In respect of Customs and Excise the information is not held centrally and could be provided only at disproportionate cost.
