HMRC to Contact About One Million People Over Pension Tax Relief Refunds
Letters offering an average £70 refund are genuine, not a scam, according to a BBC Business report.

About one million people, most of them women, are owed pension tax relief and will be contacted by HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC), according to a report by BBC Business.
The report says affected individuals will receive a letter from HMRC informing them of a refund, with the amount cited as around £70.
According to the report, some recipients may be suspicious of the letter, mistaking it for a scam, but it says the communication is legitimate and comes directly from the tax authority.
The BBC Business report does not specify further details on the exact criteria used to identify those owed the relief or the timeline for when letters will be sent.
