Understanding Fake Tax Returns

Fake tax returns are fraudulent submissions to HMRC containing false information to secure undeserved refunds or evade taxes. HMRC reported 144,298 scam referrals between November 2023 and October 2024, a 16.7% increase.

Common Scams Involving Fake Tax Returns

• Bogus Refund Offers: Scammers send emails or texts claiming you're due a tax refund. HMRC never contacts taxpayers about refunds via email or text.
• Fake Tax Preparers: Fraudulent firms promise large refunds by submitting false claims, charging high fees or taking a portion of the refund.
• Phishing for Data: Fraudsters impersonate HMRC, requesting sensitive information. In 2024, 71,832 scam reports were linked to fake tax rebate claims.
• Threatening Letters: Scams using fake HMRC letters demanding financial verification through threats of business freezes.

Risks

• Financial Penalties: HMRC may impose up to a £5,000 fine for frivolous claims.
• Legal Consequences: Filing false returns can result in criminal charges and imprisonment.
• Identity Theft: Sharing personal details with scammers risks identity theft.
• Delayed Refunds: Fraudulent claims trigger HMRC reviews, delaying legitimate refunds.
