It's evidence session 5. We've reset the room and reset online. We've got new witnesses—colleagues from local government—and I'd like to ask them to introduce themselves for the record. So, if we start in the room—

I'm sure that would be appreciated by Members here, definitely. So, we'll be in touch with that. Thank you very much.

There will be a transcript available for you to check for accuracy. We appreciate the work that's gone into what you've developed so far and, obviously, the work that will come down the line, should this Bill pass, and the preparatory work. So, we'll take a…

And then, finally from me, we haven't talked much about refunds, and there are limited areas where refunds are applicable in the Bill. Also in the Bill, I think it forces—and you tell me if I'm wrong—a collection and then a refund rather than an exemption. Is…

And going back to what Anthony was saying earlier about some of those triggers for updating registers, for example, those might be things that are collected by HMRC—some of that data. Is there a data relationship between the two organisations to be able to…

Just a couple of quick questions, maybe, at the end like this. HMRC won't have an equivalent to this. It's probably the first time you're going to be in that place where next door don't have the same thing, so you have something new and shiny, potentially, to…

Just taking that further, how often would you foresee checking the register and updating the register, or would that be at a time of—? I think I'm correct, but please correct me, would there be a nil return every year if you hadn't collected the tax, or would…

Just on that point, is there a tension, then, between that principle and the way that you work and publishing the register, in that there will be details published on a register that is publicly available? We heard from universities and researchers saying how…
