HMRC Connect cross-checks your details across multiple systems — including DVLA, DWP, banks, property records, Airbnb, eBay, and PayPal — to identify mismatches between your reported income and your actual spending or asset ownership.
For example:

If you’re renting a flat on Airbnb but not declaring rental income, Connect may flag this.

If you sell crypto or shares and don’t report gains, Connect identifies the transaction through linked financial records.
