I've never had a tax refund before hence this stupid question.
Would HMRC contact you by text message with a link to a (authentic looking) website that requests your personal info and bank card details in order to receive your refund?
I guess I unfortunately already know the answer to this

No one is ever going to ask you for your card details. Certainly not the HMRC. The couple of times I've received one it was via cheque.
Also, if you're a normal salaried employer it's a strange time of year to be getting a rebate.

I think you just put this to a poll and go with the answer

No, they'd send a cheque unless you have completed a tax return and specified a bank account.

Never ever trust anything like this you get via email or text. They will always send correspondence via post.

Post your card details on here and the tax information, I'm sure we'll be able to provide more specific help at that point.

I think I may be entitled to a refund from last year. I used the tax calculator on the hmrc site. It states that they will send you a form by the end of September. It says you get the money back by cheque, or if you are employed, via your tax coding / allowance.
