  • you have the customer’s name and address - please return the stamps to the customer with a covering letter advising that HMRC no longer accept postage stamps in lieu of payment and asking them to make payment another way, preferably electronically.
  • you do not have the customer’s name and address - please send the postage stamps to Corporate Treasury (formerly DMB Banking) at Shipley using the TNT Track and Trace service.
