Check if an email you've received from HMRC is genuine.
HMRC provides a list of genuine email communications on the GOV.UK website to help taxpayers identify potential scams. This resource details the types of emails HMRC sends regarding topics such as tax summaries, Child Benefit claims, VAT obligations, and agent services. You can use this list to verify if an email you have received is legitimate, as genuine HMRC emails will never ask for personal or financial information unless specified.
