Article 31 Information sharingI1
United Kingdom
The Commissioners of Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs, a designated customs official, a competent authority and an enforcement officer may exchange information for the purposes of this Order, and may divulge information to the enforcement authorities in Scotland and Northern Ireland for the purposes of this Order or the equivalent legislation in those jurisdictions.
Disclosure of information which is authorised by this article does not breach—
an obligation of confidence owed by the person making the disclosure; or
any other restriction on the disclosure of information (however imposed).
But nothing in this article authorises the disclosure of information where doing so breaches—
the Data Protection Act 2018 M1; or
This article does not limit the circumstances in which information may be exchanged apart from this article.
