The Department does not automatically share information on moves between the work related activity group and the support group with HM Revenue and Customs.

At the end of each financial year the Department reports to the HM Revenue and Customs details of the tax code operated, the total amount of taxable benefit paid and the total amount of tax deducted for that tax year.
