SIOG7150 | Information and inspection powers: general: obtaining information from a postal or telecommunications service provider

From HM Revenue & Customs · Specialist Investigations Operational Guidance

You may need to seek third party information from a Communications Service Provider (CSP).

For example:

  • you may want to obtain evidence about mobile phone use in order to establish the taxpayer’s residence status

  • you may want to identify the user of a PO Box number.

This information might be within the scope of our information powers, but you should instead generally use powers under RIPA.
