Frank, my experience of HMRC is that they are the most "un-joined up" body that I've ever encountered! One office never seems to communicate with another. Mr P has had letters from one office saying that he owes an amount, then a few weeks later a cheque for a rebate sent from another location!

My father passed away early in 2012 and I thought all his tax was settled.
Suddenly I have had a request for £89 which relates to the 2008 to 2009 year which my father has underpaid according to the Inland Revenue.
The estate has now been distributed but I am the sole beneficiary.
I would like some evidence but this is going to be difficult as Dad is no longer there.
I am prepared to pay the £89 but I would like a letter from the Inland Revenue stating this is a full and final settlement of tax due from Dad's estate.
What concerns me is the Inland Revenue may ask for £1,000 in a years time without producing any real evidence.
Has anybody else had this problem and managed to get a final settlement letter from the Inland Revenue?.
