HMRC EMAIL CONCERNING A TAX REPAYMENT

It would appear that a new wave of scamming is upon us this time pretending to be from HM Revenue and Customs. HMRC have issued the following advice on their website:

“HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) would not inform customers of a tax rebate via email, or invite them to complete an online form to receive a rebate of tax.
Do not visit the website contained within the email or disclose any personal or payment information.

Email addresses used to distribute the tax rebate emails include:

  • tax-inform@hmrc-information.co.uk
  • tax-individuals@hm-treasury.co.uk
  • online@hmrc.online-advantage.co.uk
  • office.tax@hmrc.taxreturn.co.uk
  • customers@hmrc.gov.uk
  • help.desk@hmrc.notify-online.co.uk
  • online.notify@hmrc-customs.co.uk
  • hmrchelpdesk@hrmchelpdesk.co.uk
  • securemail@hmrc.gov.uk
  • tax-refund@hmrcforms.co.uk
  • hmrc@tax-revenue.uk
  • refundsdept@hmrc.gov.uk
  • hmrc@tax-revenue.uk
  • refunds@hmrc.gov.uk
  • taxcredits@hmrc.co.uk
  • service@hmrc.gsi.gov.uk
  • officer.robinson@hmrc.co.uk

HMRC does not send out emails using these email addresses.”


We would emphasise that the Revenue NEVER use emails for repayments (much to our annoyance sometimes) and therefore if you receive any email from “HMRC” please contact us in the first instance. We have attached an example of a very common email which is used in this scam.
We hope this doesn’t happen to you!

Yours sincerely
