What “reported in this category” means
Each entry above is a UK phone number that has at least one approved community thread filed under the HMRC and tax scams category. Ranking is by thread count: numbers near the top have generated the most distinct discussions inside this specific category.
The category context matters: a number that appears in “parcel-and-courier” reports is very likely tied to delivery-fee phishing; the same number appearing in “bank-impersonation” reports tells a different story. Click any number for the per-number page where the discussion content + Ofcom Range Holder + AI internet check combine to give you a confident answer.

FAQs
Are these definitely HMRC and tax scams scams?
They're numbers users have reported in the HMRC and tax scams category. Moderation rejects unsourced or defamatory claims, but the categorisation reflects the reporter's view — not a formal fraud ruling. Treat the leaderboard as a strong UK-consumer-sentiment signal and read the per-number page for the structured Ofcom data before deciding.
How is this different from the main category page?
The main <a href="https://whocalledlookup.co.uk/community/hmrc-and-tax" class="link">HMRC and tax scams page</a> lists the discussion threads chronologically (newest first). This page deduplicates by phone number and ranks by report volume — the focus is the number itself, not the thread. Both surfaces draw from the same approved-thread pool.
How fresh is this list?
Rebuilt every six hours. A new approved thread enters the count on the next rebuild; a freshly reported number can appear here within a few hours of moderation.
