CCM15200 - Undisclosed Partners: Information held by HMRC
A case identified for enquiry on the grounds of a suspected undisclosed partner will usually have been selected because information held by us indicates another adult living at the customer’s address. The CCRO will have checked HMRC and other databases and other available information sources, before passing the case to you. You will therefore already have most of the evidence you will want to discuss with the customer before you open the case.
The information is likely to include some or all of the following sources.
