Please be aware of a new scam email currently circulating. It claims to be from IRD and advises the recipient that they have a tax credit to claim, with a link to click to “access” it.  This email is definitely a scam. IRD will not contact you about such matters by email, and they will never ask you to click a link to access a tax credit or refund.

If you receive this email, please:

·         Do not click the link
