When I asked why they needed my email address etc. to process a return they said it was an anti-money laundering measure Telling someone about an anti money laundering measure is a criminal offence in itself known as tipping off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t be right surely. If you asked a bank why they need loads of stuff to open an account they’ll happily tell you it’s AML stuff. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AML is one of the quarterly training shite things you have to do, even if you don’t actually deal with money. The guidance was if you suspect it then report it to the AML team. They’ll deal with it. That was all you needed to know to pass your quarterly exam. I’d hope the AML team got a bit more training. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
