Be Aware

HMRC have advised that a letter is currently in circulation, which claims to be from them, and asks for personal information from taxpayers employed outside the UK.  The letter is accompanied by a bogus copy of form P86 (Arrival in the United Kingdom) and asks for personal bank account details.  The letter, form and fax number that the taxpayer is being asked to send the information to, are all fake, and people are being warned not to complete any information.  An authentic form P86 is available on the HMRC website and does not contain a request for personal bank account details.  Employers are urged to advise their overseas employees to ignore these letters and to report the incident to the police.
