So even after my 5k spend they won’t know I’m buying ? I get a big tax rebate each year so don’t want that affected 😂

The HMRC Connect system is increasingly become more refined/extensive, already has around 1000 records for each and every individual in the country 

https://www.thp.co.uk/hmrc-connect/

Quote

• Bank records. Information from UK bank accounts and those in 60 overseas countries.
• Savings, pensions and investments records. Allowing it to check you are claiming the correct pension reliefs, whether you’ve exceeding your ISA allowance and more.
• Land Registry records. To check whether a taxpayer should be able to afford a property.
• Credit / debit card payments. From providers such as Visa and Mastercard. This can allow HMRC to compare transactions with your declared card takings.
• Activity on online platforms. These include sites such as eBay and Airbnb, to check whether you are trading or hiring out property without declaring it.
• DVLA records. To check whether you should be able to afford to buy or make payments on a car.
• Earnings and benefits. Including money you receive from casual employers, any company benefits you receive, any maintenance payments you get and more.
• Social media. The system can scrape public social media accounts to gather information about your lifestyle or any evidence of unusually high expenditure.
• All tax documents. Including your VAT, Self-assessment and council tax records, plus information on any tax investigations.

Banks were put under pressure to report all/any suspicious activities ... or else, the banks solution ... report all activities. Along with street cameras and movements detection (number plates, facial recognition), even possibly the posts you post here ... are being recorded. They know more about you than even yourself. Better to assume that they'll know your buying.
