Original Request

Dear Sir or Madam,

I am writing to request information under the Freedom of Information Act 2015.

Specifically, I would like to request the following information for each of the last five complete tax years:

The number of individuals who became newly registered as Manx tax-paying residents in each year; and

Of those individuals, the number who were aged 60 or over at the time they became tax-paying residents.

If available, I would be grateful if the data could be broken down by tax year. Aggregate figures only are sufficient; no personal or identifiable information is requested.

If this request falls partially or wholly outside the remit of your department, I would appreciate it if you could advise which department holds the relevant information or forward the request accordingly.

Please let me know if any clarification is required. I would prefer to receive the information electronically.
