I have had one of these before. Called HMRC. They never send e-mails. Report it to HMRC.

Very clever phishing email. It pulls it's formatting and color scheme from https://online.hmrc.gov.uk/style/ck/hmrc.css to make it look like an official page. In addition, it contains a ton of links to real sites. The only trick is in obfuscated javascript, which after decoding reads:

So, any info you enter is directed to a server in China. Other than that, it doesn't appear to contain any malware.
