It’s that time of year again when tax returns are due and the naughty folk of the internet send out their crafty “tax rebate” or “tax refund” emails. These are always false and should be ignored. More details on scams relating to HMRC are detailed at http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/security/examples.htm

HMRC will never send notifications of a tax rebate, or ask you to disclose personal or payment information by email. More information on communications from HMRC and a list of contacts is on their website at : http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/security/contacts.htm
