To send me a bill for £0.49p? rolleyes

And more to the point how much more will it cost and confuse their system if I stick a fifty pence piece to a bit of card and send it back? :-)

I guess my CT payment must have arrived a day late.

Would the bank send you a atatement showing a balance of 49p overdrawn? Of course they would.

The Revenue are legally obliged to notify the company of its liability, however small. I have no doubt that in the next few years this type of letter will be replaced by electronic communication of some sort anyway.

The bank would also charge you £30 for being overdrawn and £40 for telling you about it.
