Identifying tax receipts on frozen assets is complex, requiring entities on the sanctions list to be validated and matched against HMRC’s tax records. HMRC will do this as quickly as they can. The Treasury shall write to the Noble Lord shortly and place a copy of the letter in the Library of both Houses.
