They can also issue these opinions to taxpayers' attorneys, accountants, and real estate agents. However, this does not mean that the tax authorities can issue these opinions at their discretion. The HMRC must not only prove that the information is "reasonably required", but that the taxpayer or a tax court must give its approval.
