Tax Refunds And Emails22/11/2009

There has been some publicity about emails purporting to come from H M Revenue & Customs about tax refunds.  These emails are scams.  The Revenue will NEVER send you an email about a tax refund.  They will always write to you (or to us on your behalf). 

The Revenue are keen to follow up any example and if you should receive an email, please forward it to phishing@hmrc.gsi.gov.uk.  HMRC cannot reply to every email, but action is taken on each report received.
