Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, pursuant to the Answer of 20 February 2018 to Question 127398 on PAYE, whether the contract agreed by HMRC routinely provides management information to HMRC summarising the volume of real time information BACS hashes send to HMRC.

HMRC receives a daily operational report of BACS hashes and a monthly summary. The monthly summary is reviewed and used to ensure there are no issues within the hash matching process.

HMRC does not collate this information on an annual basis and to do so would be at a disproportionate cost.
