Very interesting, I didn't know about this.

"The range of information HMRC Connect can gather is staggering. It includes:
  • Bank records. Information from UK bank accounts and those in 60 overseas countries.
  • Savings, pensions and investments records. Allowing it to check you are claiming the correct pension reliefs, whether you’ve exceeding your ISA allowance and more.
  • Land Registry records. To check whether a taxpayer should be able to afford a property.
  • Credit / debit card payments. From providers such as Visa and Mastercard. This can allow HMRC to compare transactions with your declared card takings.
  • Activity on online platforms. These include sites such as eBay and Airbnb, to check whether you are trading or hiring out property without declaring it.
  • DVLA records. To check whether you should be able to afford to buy or make payments on a car.
  • Earnings and benefits. Including money you receive from casual employers, any company benefits you receive, any maintenance payments you get and more.
  • Social media. The system can scrape public social media accounts to gather information about your lifestyle or any evidence of unusually high expenditure.
  • All tax documents. Including your VAT, Self-assessment and council tax records, plus information on any tax investigations"

This from an organisation that has failed its audit for more than the last 20 years...

This is what they want digital ID for, so they can scoop up the remaining pennies, and the data centres to run the systems and store the evidence.
