The Inland Revenue is what we've referred to our equivalent of the
(american) IRS as since 1849, when it was formed as part of the Inland
Revenue Board Act. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inland_Revenue)

In April it became HM Revenue and Customs
(http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/menus/aboutmenu.htm), so techically it no longer
exists.

Then, chances are, you were taken in by a phishing attack, because as
far as I'm aware, no such organisation exists. :P
