Read the original article on thesun.co.uk (opens in a new tab)The Sun reports, citing The Times, that HMRC inspectors can photograph homes from public roads without consent, ahead of the new high value council tax surcharge. It attributes the "snoopers' charter" label to the Conservatives, gives the government's reply, and tells readers the photography guidance was written for existing council tax inspections.
“The Conservatives have branded the guidance for tax inspectors a “snoopers’ charter”.”
The Sun puts the loaded label in quotation marks and attributes it to the opposition party. It does not adopt the label in its own voice.
“The photography guidance was written for existing council tax inspections, rather than specifically for the new levy.”
The Sun tells readers that the power is not new. This qualifies the alarm in the opening lines.
