Almost one-third of a million taxpayers will receive self assessment (SA) reminders before the end of the month.
HMRC are sending 650,000 emails ahead of the 31 January deadline to people who are yet to file their returns online or pay the tax owed.
The messages follow the launch of the Revenue’s fully digital SA service that provides real-time digital alerts with direct links to returns, guides and tools on GOV.UK. More than 670,000 individuals have already opted to go paperless next year, according to tax officials.

The alerts contain no confidential or financial details, only generic information and notifications. The HMRC logo and the taxpayer’s full name, as held in the department’s records, is always included.
Emails are fraudulent if they claim to be from the Revenue and offer tax refunds or request specific payments. The messages should be forwarded to the department’s phishing investigators. phishing@hmrc.gsi.gov.uk
