There are reports that HMRC is receiving the information. There is no evidence they are using it (even when it would help them to do so). There have, however, been reports of "nudge letters" relating to offshore platforms and CGT.

Thanks everyone for responding to my original question - and subsequent comments (there's quite a lot of stuff I had not considered).

As one of the earliest replies to my post suggested, the question of which broker to use to buy gilts has been answered before and the search function (gilts + platform) is very useful in this respect.

Briefly, it seems to be AJ Bell and Scottish Widows, followed by HL (more expensive). Freetrade doesn't charge trading fees, but it has a limited range of gilts available.

Thanks again.
