Just a warning
I have had a couple of these e-mails
from HM Revenue & Customs.:-
After the last annual calculations of your fiscal activity, we have determined that you are eligible to receive a tax refund of 1527.29 GBP. Please submit the tax refund request and allow 6-9 days in order to process it.
Click removed by me
to submit you tax refund request
Note : A refund can be delayed a variety of reasons, for example submitting invalid records or applying after deadline.
Yours Sincerely
HM Revenue & Customs
Do they think that I have just fell out of a lemon tree?
1) where would they get my e-mail address from
2) I don't pay tax anymore, as I do not earn enough
3) Would it not go to my OR anyway?

not sure on email address, sounds a bit suss to me, specially them doing it via email but then i've heard stranger things from this government lol
If you're still in BR(not DC) then yes, most likely it will go to the OR. If you have been discharged and no IPA/IPO then if its ligit, should be all yours (i'm sure someone here will correct me if I'm wrong) On the Keyboard of Life - Always Keep a finger poised over the Esc Key! :rotfl:0 -

Its a scam.
HMRC will never email about anything, especially not as generic as this. Yes, they think you fell out of a lemon tree. Hard!0 -
