Anti-money laundering compliance officers are set to phone firms registered with HMRC under the Money Laundering Regulations (MLR) 2007, to check if information held by the taxman is up to date.
The Revenue is permitted to the data under MLR regulation 37. Each officer will confirm his or her identity, ask for security information, and then seek details of business activities and customers, and answer questions.
The calls will help HMRC decide whether or not a visit is needed and give businesses the opportunity to clarify issues, said the department.
