Have You Had a Tax Refund Email?

If you've had an email purporting to be from HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC), inviting you to apply for a tax refund, you're far from alone. Hundreds of thousands of these messages have been sent, flooding the Internet. But, authentic though they may seem, complete with logo and so on, these emails are scams. Their sole aim is to extract credit card information and other personal details.

HMRC will not ever email you saying you are eligible for a tax rebate. Instead, all written communication is by post. Delete any emails you receive saying you can claim a tax rebate - they are most definitely not genuine.

However, as many as one in three British tax payers are genuinely in line for a real tax refund, having overpaid their income tax for any number of reasons. You could well be one of them.

By using an online income tax calculator, it's really easy to tell whether you've paid too much tax to HRMC. You could have a cheque or money paid in to your bank account within weeks.

At Best Tax Back, we have the software to help. Our income tax calculator can determine whether or not you are due a rebate. This is entirely free to use. If you then decide to progress your claim, simply create a free account with us and follow the instructions provided.

Once you've decided to claim back the money you're entitled to through us, we just charge a fixed, one-off fee of £19.99. Learn more from our website.
