DIGITAL TAX RECORDS

HMRC has digitised some tax records through its Making Tax Digital programme. HMRC has also created several digital services, including the Personal Tax Account, to help you manage your tax details online. In this section, we will outline how and why we will use these digital tax records to perform our services.

Personal Tax Account

A Personal Tax Account (PTA) is an HMRC service that allows you to view and manage your tax details online. We will invite you to connect your PTA to our HMRC agent account, enabling us to view some of your digital tax records. Our Data Retention Policy details our retention periods for the information we collect during this process.

We are obliged by HMRC to conduct certain basic checks to assess the merits of your claim before we submit it to HMRC. The most effective way for us to complete these checks is to connect your PTA to our agent account. Once connected, we will use the information within your PTA to determine whether to submit your claim. We will also use this access annually to review your tax details and contact you to let you know the outcome of this review.

You can remove our access to your PTA at any time by emailing us at connect@taxreturned.co.uk or by logging in to your PTA and removing our access directly.

HMRC Agent Account

An agent account is an HMRC service that allows an agent, like us, to view customers’ tax details if authorised to do so. You can authorise us to view some of your tax details through your PTA as set out above. Alternatively, you can authorise us to view some details by signing a Tax Agent Authority.

Self-Assessment Pre-population APIs

The Self-Assessment Pre-population APIs are a set of Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) that HMRC created to allow agents to access certain tax details (including historical data) online. You can authorise us to access your tax details through the Self-Assessment Pre-population APIs by signing a Tax Agent Authority. We will use these APIs to understand your tax status and investigate any potential overpaid tax.

Making Tax Digital APIs

The Making Tax Digital APIs are a set of Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) that HMRC created to allow agents, like us, to access certain tax details (including historical data) online. You can authorise us to access your tax details through the Making Tax Digital APIs by connecting your Personal Tax Account to our agent account. We may use these APIs to understand your tax status and investigate any potential overpaid tax.

AUTOMATED DECISION MAKING AND PROFILING

We are obliged by HMRC to assess the merit of your claim before we submit your claim to HMRC. If you do not grant us access to your digital tax records, we will use alternative methods to verify the merit of your claim before submitting it to HMRC. We will process your data to create a temporary profile and compare your claim to those claims previously submitted on behalf of other customers. We will then make an automated assessment of your profile to decide whether to submit your claim to HMRC.

There are specific laws that govern automated decision making and profiling. While we do not believe that this processing has legal effects or significantly affects you, we are treating it as though it does because your privacy is important to us. Therefore:

1. You can opt out of the temporary profiling. Please understand that if you also refuse to grant us access to your digital tax records, we cannot pursue a claim on your behalf, and we will terminate your contract.
2. If you are unhappy with an automated decision not to file your claim based on your temporary profile, you may request a manual review of your claim.

To opt out of profiling or to request a manual review, please contact dataprotection@taxreturned.co.uk.

MARKETING

We rely on explicit opt-in consent for marketing, in compliance with both the PECR (Privacy and Electronic Communications (EC Directive) Regulations 2003) and the Data Protection Act 2018. If you consent to receiving marketing from us, we may contact you about additional services that we provide.

You may opt-out of marketing communications at any time by utilising the opt-out links on marketing communications, or by contacting us at info@taxreturned.co.uk. If you opt-out of marketing communications, you will continue to receive service communications related to your ongoing contract.

We use pixels to identify social media traffic. Pixels show us which pages you have visited on our website. We may use your information to create custom marketing and lookalike audiences on social media. We may market our services on Facebook, Instagram, Google, Bing, Twitter, LinkedIn, Pinterest, TikTok, or Snapchat. To opt-out from the pixel on those platforms you will need to go through the marketing preferences sections on those platforms.

COMPLETING YOUR APPLICATION

When you begin an application on our website but do not complete it, we retain the data that you provide to us for the purpose of allowing you to resume your application at a later date. We will delete this data 30 days from the date on which you began your application.

If you visit our website and begin the application process but do not complete it, we may send you a maximum of three reminders (these may be by SMS or email) containing a digital link to return and finish your application from where you left off. The link to complete your application will expire 30 days from the date on which you began your application on our website.

SERVICE MESSAGES

We may send you service messages related to your claim. Service messages may include invoices, reminders and claim updates. You may receive service messages whether you have consented to marketing communications or not.

CHANGE OF PURPOSE

We will only use your information for the purposes for which we collected it. However, we may use it for another purpose if that purpose is compatible with the original purpose. If you believe that we are using your data for a purpose other than the one for which we originally collected it, please contact us at dataprotection@taxreturned.co.uk for a full explanation. 

If we need to use your information for an unrelated purpose, we will notify you and explain the legal reason which we believe allows us to use it for that purpose.

INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS

We may share your personal data with some of our employees and contractors who may be outside of the United Kingdom (UK). They may be:

• in countries outside the UK which the Information Commissioner’s Office (the data regulator in the UK) has confirmed have adequate data laws to protect your personal data there as it would be protected in the UK; or
• in countries outside the UK which the Information Commissioner’s Office (the data regulator in the UK) has not confirmed have adequate data laws to protect your personal data there as it would be protected in the UK. In this case, we will only share your personal data under standard contractual clauses approved by the Information Commissioner’s Office which ensures through a contract we have with those employees and contractors (rather than through the law of that country) that your data is subject to the same protections it would receive within the UK. That contract also gives you rights against any third party contractors. 

Back to top of page

DATA SECURITY

We have put in place appropriate technical and security measures to prevent accidental loss, unauthorised use, access, alteration, or disclosure of your information. In addition, we limit access to your information to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process such information on our instructions, and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.

We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected breach of security. We will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we have a legal requirement to do so. 

Back to top of page

OUR DATA RETENTION POLICY

We are legally obliged for anti-financial crime purposes to retain customer information for five years after the end of our business relationship with you. We may retain information for a further year (to a total of six) from the end of our contract with you for the exercise and defence of legal claims. Please visit our Data Retention policy for further information.

You have the right to request erasure of your information in certain circumstances: see the Request Erasure section in the Glossary below for further details

We may anonymise your information in some circumstances for research or statistical purposes. Anonymised data is no longer considered personal data and therefore we may use this information indefinitely without providing you with further notice.

• Your right to request access to your data.
• Your right to request correction of your data.

LAWFUL BASIS  

Consent means you have directly instructed or permitted us to process your data after we requested your consent and provided you with details of the processing.

Legitimate Interest means we are processing your data to improve our service in the interests of our business.

You can obtain further information about our legitimate interests by contacting us at dataprotection@taxreturned.co.uk.

YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS  

You have the right to:

• Request access to your data. This is commonly known as a “data subject access request”, which allows you to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you.

• Request correction of your data. You can correct incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you, although we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us. 

• Request erasure of your data. You can ask us to delete your personal data when there is no overriding reason for us continuing to process it. You can also ask us to delete your data if you have objected to our processing, if we have processed your data unlawfully, or if we must erase your data to comply with local law. However, we may not be able to comply with your request for specific legal reasons, and if so we will notify you in our response to your request. We will also interpret an erasure request to mean you object to our processing of your data, and we will restrict our processing accordingly. Please also refer to our Data Retention policy.

• Object to our processing of your data. You can ask us to stop processing your data where we are relying on a legitimate interest and you feel our processing impacts your fundamental rights and freedoms. You may also object where we are processing your data for direct marketing purposes. However, we may have compelling overriding legitimate grounds to process your data. 

• Report us to the Information Commissioner’s Office. You can lodge a complaint with the ICO if you believe that we have contravened the DPA 2018, the PECR, or any other applicable data privacy law. The ICO’s helpline is 0303 123 1113.

• Request restriction of processing of your data. You can ask us to suspend our processing of your data if: 

• You want us to establish the accuracy of the data.
• Our use of the data is unlawful, but you do not want us to erase it.
• You need us to hold the data although we no longer need it, as you need the data to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.
• You object to our use of the data, but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to continue processing it.

• Request the transfer of your data. Where we have processed your data based on consent or contract and the processing is automated, we will provide you or your nominated third party with your data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format.

• Withdraw consent at any time. This will not affect the lawfulness of any processing performed before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain services to you and we will advise you if this is the case.
