We are working to detect and prevent fraudulent access to taxpayer data and organised repayment fraud. Our Attribute Reputation process collates large amounts of tax transaction data to derive risk scores and insights, helping identify common attributes associated with suspicious or fraudulent activity. We collaborate with other data product and front-end product teams to create a frictionless customer experience and to exploit the digital audit data we hold. Insights from Attribute Reputation are crucial to our services, and our team is pioneering data sharing with other government departments and local authorities.
