HMRC reminder: how to tell whether an email you receive is genuine

HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) published a guide describing the features of various emails it sends to individuals and businesses, covering topics such as annual tax summaries, anti-money laundering supervision, VAT for online marketplace sellers, and the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM). Emails to businesses selling goods to UK customers through online marketplaces concern their UK VAT obligations, while emails to recipients whose imported goods may be affected by CBAM explain the scope of the tax. HMRC stresses that its emails will never ask for personal or financial information and lists ways to verify whether an email is genuine.
