Whistleblowing

Whistleblowing law applies to workers reporting certain types of wrongdoing.

As a whistleblower, you’re protected by law from being mistreated because you ‘blow the whistle.’

You can find out more about when whistleblowing applies on GOV.UK.

As a prescribed person under whistleblowing law, our employees can whistleblow to us about Land Transaction Tax and Landfill Disposals Tax.

You can also whistleblow to us about these taxes if you feel you cannot whistleblow to your organisation.

You can whistleblow to us about Land Transaction Tax or Landfill Disposals Tax if you’ve reason to believe that one of the following has happened:

• a criminal offence
• a breach of a legal obligation
• a miscarriage of justice
• danger to the health or safety of any individual
• damage to the environment
• the deliberate covering up of wrongdoing in the above categories

You may want to get legal advice if you’re not sure if your concern is covered by whistleblowing.

If your concern is not covered, you may instead want to submit feedback, make a complaint or report tax avoidance or evasion.

You can:

• email whistleblowing@wra.gov.wales
• call our helpdesk team on 03000 254 000 and ask to speak to a whistleblowing nominated officer

If you want to remain anonymous, let us know when raising your concern. We may not be able to maintain your anonymity if we’re later required to disclose it by law.

We’ll investigate your concern and decide if we need to take action. We may ask you for further information.

We’ll let you know what action we’ve taken unless this impacts someone’s confidentiality.
