HMRC may disclose information to the Home Office for the purpose of a criminal investigation or proceeding (including initiating such a investigation/proceeding or bringing one to an end) through a legal gateway provided by section 19 of the Anti-Terrorism, Crime and Security Act 2001 (ATCSA). See IDG50100 for more information on how to disclose to organisations such as the UKBA using the ATCSA. This includes where the UKBA request information from the department, or where the department wishes to pro-actively disclose the information to a part of the Home Office.

Please also see IDG50130 if you are involved in a joint working situation with any part of the Home Office.
