Details
The Code of Practice on Taxation for Banks was first introduced in 2009 and was strengthened in 2013, in particular to introduce more transparency.
The strengthening of the code in the Finance Act 2014 provided that HMRC is required to publish an annual report on the operation of the code. The report lists banks which have adopted the Code, identifies any bank that have not adopted the Code and can identify any bank that is found to be in breach of its Code commitments.
The report also covers the work HMRC has done to monitor Code compliance and how HMRC addresses concerns when they arise around the code.
