IRAS would like to alert the public that a scam email titled "Your 2013 Tax Return Report!!!" has been circulating. The email carries a message that a report on the recipient’s 2013 tax refund is attached and that they should go through the PDF attachment to view the tax refund report.

Members of the public should not respond to this email or click on any attachment or file from the email. They are advised to delete it as soon as they have seen it, and refrain from opening it. They should also scan their computers/mobile devices with anti-virus programmes.

This is a screenshot of the scam email for reference:
