HMRC has published a guide enabling recipients to cross-reference recent official correspondence against a checklist to determine whether letters claiming to be from the tax authority are authentic or potentially fraudulent. This resource helps businesses and individuals identify scam communications by comparing their received mail against confirmed HMRC letter templates and formats. The verification tool supports compliance efforts by reducing the risk of customs and logistics operators responding to false customs or tax demands from fraudulent sources.
