A quick warning there are some fake HMRC emails being sent out that claim you have paid to much tax, there is some type of attachment you have to open but this is a password logger so be careful , as always never open any attachment unless you are expecting it or no who it is from.

There is a new version around that starts -

Dear Taxpayer
We wish to inform you that as of September 20 you are no longer eligible to receive a Tax Return. The reason being the expiration of your current information regarding the method by which you receive your Tax Returns. To alleviate this problem you must renew this information by filling out and submiting this form
Untill you complete this process you will not be able to receive any Tax Return. Please note: Submitting invalid records can lead to the inability to receive Tax Returns for a period of 6 months.
Please submit the Tax Return Information Update Form and allow us 6-9 days in order to process it.
Thank you.
