HMRC have been made aware of certain so-called 'Phishing' scams targeting taxpayers in an effort to fraudulently obtain personal information from them.

In an effort to address this problem and increase awareness of taxpayers to the scam, HMRC has set-up a 'Phishing' section on its website. The page can be found by visiting the link below.

The way in which the fraudsters operate vary and the website details recent scams which include the issue of ‘fake’ forms and payment demands.

If you receive any correspondence which you believe is suspicious, please do get in touch.
