Reporting HMRC related phishing emails

HMRC do not send notifications of a tax rebate over email, or request that you update your security certification.

If you receive an email that doesn’t address you by your first name and surname and then asks you to click on a link and/or disclose your details, you may well be revealing your details to a fraudulent website.

If you have received an email from HMRC that you consider to be fraudulent, please forward it to phishing@hmrc.gsi.gov.uk. HMRC cannot reply to every email, but action is taken on each report received.
