I recieved a email, was in my junk box from them

Tax Refund: You are eligible to receive a tax refund of Ј 342.90

Please submit the tax refund request and allow us 15-30 days in order to process it.

In some cases (especially submitted by those without permanent National Insurance Number) this may take considerably longer.

Looks like a fake to me, did they ask for any bank details or just ni number.  Even so with just the ni number they could steal your identity.  I've never had an email from the HM revenue.

No Tax office or bank etc will ask you for your personal details on the web.

IR will never email you as they dont know your email address, write you a letter, Yes, knock on your door, Yes. But never email.
