The tax authority said two weeks ago that it had considered the evidence and had concluded the house in Stockport was the Labour deputy leader's principal residence the whole time she owned it, meaning no tax would be due.
Greater Manchester police said on Tuesday that Rayner had been cleared of wrongdoing over claims she had wrongly declared her permanent address on the electoral roll, which would have been a criminal offence.
The force said it was taking no further action, but that matters involving personal tax or council tax did not fall under its jurisdiction and it had shared information from its six-week investigation with HMRC and Stockport council.
A spokesperson for the council said it had "reviewed and responded to all correspondence" on the matter, adding: "We have also concluded that no further action will be taken on behalf of the council".
HMRC, however, has refused to confirm or deny whether it was investigating Rayner's case, as it does not comment on individual cases because of the laws on taxpayer confidentiality.
