As the old tax year has ended, just a reminder warning (in advance) about the usual phishing emails disguised as tax refunds.
We had one which was so badly worded I almost feel sorry forthe scammers. The con here was that you enter your credit/debit card details to 'receive' your refund. It lacked the right language, layout and logos.
HMRC will never send you an email about this, to my knowledge any emails sent by them will relate to ongoing matters where it has been agreed to communicate over e-mail.
HMRC will never demand money over the phone without having sent you a letter first.
Stay safe and well everyone.
