Beware Of VAT Return Phishing Emails!
14th February 2025
This time last month we shared a post warning about Self Assessment Scams – Now we are finding that VAT Returns are also being targeted by criminals.
Keep an eye out for phishing emails pretending to be HMRC – an example below showing a likeness to HMRC emails. HMRC will never ask you to disclose personal information via email and you should not click any links in the emails.
Always check the email address that the message comes from and if in doubt give the HMRC helpline a call from their website where they will be able to confirm if anything is required.
If you do receive one, please forward onto phishing@hmrc.gov.uk for their security team to investigate and then delete the email you have received.
