Probate/IHT205 do I inform HMR&C as well or just HMTCS

I have completed a form IHT205 ( simple estate under £325,000 no house to sell) and posted it off along with the PA1P(all in paper -nothing online as my computer skills/printer/ computer are not good enough and unable to replace at the moment). I have telephoned the tax office to say my Mum died and received a letter to say no need to do an online tax return thank goodness. Do I, however, need to send them a copy of the IHT205 or is there no need as there is no tax to pay on the estate? I didn't think to ask them as I really did not know what I was doing at the time and it was also quite difficult getting through.

You don't need to send HMRC the IHT205.
