HMRC have updated their guidance on scam emails as they are aware that a large number of individuals are receiving emails offering tax rebates. HMRC have also confirmed that they would not inform taxpayers of a tax rebate via email, or request that they complete an online form to receive a rebate of tax.  

HMRC are stressing that individuals should not visit the website contained within the email or disclose any personal or payment information.
