Her Majestys Revenue and Customs (Decision Notice) [2012] UKICO FS50456092 (12 September 2012)
Summary: The complainant has requested information from HM Revenue & Customs (-HMRC-) relating to responses it sent to subject access requests (-SAR-) made under the Data Protection Act 1998 (the -DPA-) and when those were delivered within certain timescales. HMRC refused to deal with this request, stating that to comply with it would exceed the cost limit under section 12 of the FOIA. The Commissioner-s decision is that HMRC has correctly applied section 12(1) to the request. However, he finds that HMRC breached section 1 of the FOIA by not confirming that it held information which was relevant to the request within the statutory time for compliance. The Commissioner does not require HMRC to take any steps.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: FOI 1 - Complaint Partly Upheld, FOI 12 - Complaint Not upheld, FOI 16 - Complaint Not upheld
