Since 2010, HMRC has developed and expanded its data-mining software, Connect, to help spot undeclared income by analysing data from banks, online marketplaces, social media, and more — and cross-checking it with tax returns.

With thousands of HMRC staff now using Connect, taxpayers are facing a level of oversight that would have been unthinkable just a few years ago. Last year alone, it helped uncover 540,000 cases of undeclared tax and brought in an extra £4.6 billion to the Revenue.

This sends a clear message: HMRC is investing heavily in big data and AI to power tax investigations hence we are likely to see more instances where routine discrepancies or overlooked details attract attention.
