How to check a HMRC website
Look at the actual website address in your browser, not just the organisation name, logo, page design or wording. A page can look familiar while being hosted on a completely different website address.
GenuineWebsite compares the actual hostname with the website addresses held for HMRC. An address that merely contains “HMRC” is not automatically a genuine HMRC website.
Why check a HMRC link?
HMRC is associated with government services. Unexpected links can arrive through email, text messages, search results, adverts or social media. Checking the website address gives you a simple identity check before you continue.
GenuineWebsite answers a narrow question: does the website address match a verified website address held for the organisation it appears to represent?
HMRC website questions
What website address does GenuineWebsite hold for HMRC?
gov.uk
Does a HMRC logo prove a website is genuine?
No. Logos and page designs can be copied. Check the actual website address.
Does a matching address guarantee everything on the page is safe?
No. A domain match helps confirm website identity. It is not a guarantee about every page, offer, seller, message or external link.
