⚠️ Beware of emails asking you to pay a tax penalty
We have received reports on phishing emails with the subject headings “Official Notice of Tax Demand & Penalty” and “Tax Penalty – Under-declaration of Income”, sent by scammers impersonating IRAS officers. The phishing emails falsely claim that you have under-declared your income and contain suspicious links that may lead to a phishing website or download malware on your device.
IRAS notices and letters on confidential tax matters are accessible securely via myTax Portal. If you receive such an email, do not click on any links or download any attachments or programmes.
