Fraudsters regularly send letters or messages by WhatsApp, text message or email claiming to be the Tax and Customs Administration. While it appears as though these are sent by the Tax and Customs Administration, this is not always the case.
If you are unsure whether a message has been sent by the Tax and Customs Administration:
Log in to your personal tax account on the website of the Tax and Customs Administration:   Mijn Belastingdienst .
If the message is shown on there, you can be certain that the Tax and Customs Administration sent it.
If you plan to transfer funds to the Tax and Customs Administration, always check the bank account number against the bank account numbers on this list.
The Tax and Customs Administration will never ask you to share your personal details or transfer money by email, WhatsApp or text message or via a link.
