<p>HMRC regularly encounters attempts to fraudulently attack its systems and does
not routinely keep records of the value of individual instances unless a pattern emerges.</p><p>

constituted more than isolated incidents. In these cases, paper VAT 484 forms had
been wrongly used in an attempt to fraudulently gain access to VAT repayments. Immediate
steps have been taken to prevent this from happening, and the situation is being monitored
to see if further action is necessary.</p>
