This is probably just a bit of fun at the expense of the HMRC, but have those of you at the wrong end of enquiries thought about bombarding HMRC with demands for various rights under GDPR. I doubt you will get away with the right to be forgotten, but there may be all kinds of data you can demand to be corrected or deleted. Would keep them busy.

A Subject Access Request is Free after the 25th and they have 30 days to respond. You can then check what they hold and point out any corrections and request they be put right. Again they 30 days to do this.
However, if the HMRC website lets you check all the personal data they hold on you they they will just point you to that as it allows you to check and correct details at any time."Being nice costs nothing and sometimes gets you extra bacon" - Pondlife. -
Excellent idea!
A while ago I raised a SAR(Subject Access Request - not Self Assessment Return) with HMRC via their web site. It was ignored and there was no way of escalating. It has now gone to the ICO.
I did find how to get my data details another way.
I know a GDPR expert and we are both going to request details from HMRC next week. I will post back with what I did.
I am told(by the expert) that HMRC have fewer loopholes after tomorrow.Comment

You can only ask them for personal information that directly relates to you. That might include Your Co. as your employer but thats all.
Edit : Unless its addressed to you by name as well as the company address.Last edited by DaveB; 25 May 2018, 10:18."Being nice costs nothing and sometimes gets you extra bacon" - Pondlife.Comment

2. I would think that HMRC scheme enquiries are into the individual, not the Ltd.Comment
