The complainant has requested information from HMRC about the automatic backdating of tax credits and about HMRC’s discrimination in that respect. HMRC refused the request stating that it did not hold the requested information. The Commissioner’s decision is that the request is not a valid request for information because it does not meet the requirements of section 8 of the FOIA. The Commissioner does not require the public authority to take any steps.
