Selling the data is certainly wrong. But we shouldn’t jump so fast to assume that tax information is inherently private. In Norway, all tax returns are published as a matter of transparency and I’ve long felt that this is something the UK and other countries should emulate. I’d find it very illuminating to know the income of a conservative blogger who was decrying benefits as a waste of money, or see which well-known figures turned out to have tax avoidance schemes.
