HMRC consults on legislative mandate for enhanced third-party data reporting on interest and card sales
HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) published a technical consultation on draft legislation designed to standardize and expand the reporting of interest income and card sales by third-party data providers. The proposal aims to replace antiquated reporting frameworks with a modernized, consistent digital format to improve tax gap identification and automate taxpayer assessments. This move signals a significant shift toward real-time or high-frequency data integration between financial institutions and the UK tax authority.

Strategic Governance Impact
Structural governance significance — not general importance.
Important development
HMRC is consulting on draft legislation to standardize and automate third-party data reporting for financial institutions and payment processors. This proposal increases technical operational compliance and data assurance demands for targeted financial sectors. It does not alter core corporate governance frameworks, board-level accountability, or executive decision-making.
Exposure pathway
Financial institutions, digital payment processors, and merchant acquirers are directly exposed through new mandatory data-sharing requirements. Compliance departments must prepare for standardized reporting schemas that replace legacy bespoke information requests.
What may need to be proven
Affected entities will be required to maintain granular transaction records and interest payment logs in a specific machine-readable format compatible with HMRC's upgraded digital systems. Evidence of data veracity and system interoperability will become a core audit requirement.
