It's not a question of having anything to hide. Governments have a very poor track record on data safety. They already know, or are finding out, things they don't need to know and shouldn't. I got asked for bank statements by the DWP - when they've just been given ridiculously broad powers to look at people's bank accounts. "Oh, he's got an ISA, he might be hiding 1000s'.
Yeah. I didn't immediately declare it, granted, but that's because mine has precisely 1p in it, and has had since March '22. I got it years ago and I keep it open just in case. But in fact my bank balance has never even reached 5 figures. I mean
never.
