Hmrc tax refund email

HMRC (Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs) may send you an email regarding a tax refund if you are due a refund on your tax return. Here are some things to keep in mind:

What to look out for:

• The email will usually be sent from an HMRC email address, which will end in @hmrc.gov.uk.
• The email will contain your name and National Insurance number to verify your identity.
• The email will inform you that you are due a tax refund and provide details of the amount you are owed.
• The email may also ask you to log in to your HMRC online account to view your refund details.

What to do:

• If you receive an email from HMRC stating you are due a tax refund, you should:
  • Log in to your HMRC online account to verify the details of your refund.
  • Check that the email is genuine by looking for the HMRC logo and the correct email address.
  • If you are unsure about the email or have any concerns, you can contact HMRC directly using the contact details provided on their website.
• If you are due a tax refund, you can expect to receive the payment within 14 days of HMRC processing your claim.

Tips to avoid scams:

• Be cautious of emails that ask you to provide personal or financial information, as these may be phishing scams.
• Never respond to emails that ask you to provide sensitive information, such as your bank account details or password.
• Always log in to your HMRC online account directly, rather than clicking on links provided in emails.
• If you are unsure about the authenticity of an HMRC email, contact HMRC directly using the contact details provided on their website.

Remember to always be vigilant when receiving emails from HMRC or any other organization, and take steps to protect your personal and financial information.
