Where to send the Inheritance Tax form

I have question about where to send the completed Inheritance Tax form… or more like do I have to send it anywhere since grant of probate was not needed.

My situation:

The estate I am an executor for had less than £1000 on a bank account and only couple of small bills that the sum easily covers. I contacted the bank and while waiting their reply I filled the form IHT205.

Bank were willing to release the money. Now I basically have everything to pay the debts and distribute the remainder to beneficiaries.

Do I still have to send the IHT205 form somewhere? Normally you are supposed to send it to probate registry with the probate application.
