HMRC gives out information periodically about email scams that are reported by employers and individual taxpayers.  Recent emails have been offering tax rebates.  HMRC does not notify taxpayers of tax rebates via email or invite them to complete an online form to receive a rebate.

The email addresses used to distribute the tax rebate emails include:

• TaxRefund@hmrc.gov.uk
• service@hmrc.gsi.gov.uk
• claims@hmrc.direct.gov.uk
• notice@hmrc.gov.uk
• hmrc@hmrc.gov.uk
• admin@hmrc.gsi.gov.uk
• info@hmrc.gsi.gov.uk
• no-reply@hmrc.gsi.gov.uk

HMRC does not send out emails using these email addresses.

Suspected fraudulent emails may be forwarded to phishing@hmrc.gsi.gov.uk for investigation.
