HMRC are warning about letters claiming to be from HMRC which ask for personal information from taxpayers employed outside the UK. The letter is accompanied by a bogus copy of form P86 and asks for personal bank account details.
They advise that these documents have not been issued by HMRC and say that the letter, form and fax number that recipients are requested to return the completed form to, are all fake, and should not be completed. An authentic P86 is available on HMRC's website, and does not contain a request for personal bank account details.

HMRC urges employers to advise their overseas employees to ignore these letters and to report the incident to the police. HMRC's website has a page giving examples of known spoofs and phishing attempts.
