NMWM16050 - Disclosure of information: ownership of National Minimum Wage information
Relevant legislation
The legislation that applies to this page is as follows:
- National Minimum Wage Act 1998, section 15
General
National Minimum Wage teams in HM Revenue & Customs (NMWM02030) enforce the National Minimum Wage, on behalf of the Department for Business and Trade (NMWM02020). This work has a legal position distinguishing it from other work carried out by HM Revenue & Customs.
The implications for information sharing are also different because any national minimum wage information obtained and used is legally owned by the Secretary of State for the Department for Business and Trade. For this reason certain information can be shared with the Department for Business and Trade, without needing a specific legal gateway (NMWM16070). However, some HM Revenue & Customs information cannot be shared with the Department for Business and Trade such as VAT information (NMWM16210).
See (NMWM16060) for sharing information with other teams in HM Revenue & Customs.
